Maybe you should outline the benefits of such a plan since I can only see drawbacks. Both DLLs would have to be loaded by every application anyway. That means two separate directory lookups. And, the "separate C library" would suffer from dll load-time issues with accessing data and functions, i.e., it would be slower than the current way of doing things. And, then, there would be the "It says cyglibc.dll not found. Why it not there?" issues that are sure to crop up. So, other than the esoteric issue of isolating things into separate regions for maintenance sake, I don't see any end-user benefits. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: swig-1.3.29-1
Until swig-1.3.29-2 becomes available, here's how you can get swig-1.3.29-1 to work (it's missing "swigwarn.swg"): 1. Download source with setup.exe 2. cd to /usr/src (within your cygwin directory) 3. execute "./swig-1.3.29-1.sh conf" 4. "cd swig-1.3.29/.build" 5. "make Lib/swigwarn.swg" 6.

[snip] Wrong, it's not pthread support is pth as in portable threads, and obviously you had just built it... the real problem is that the compile command is wrong, if you try by hand the correct command it will work: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o gpg-connect-agent.exe gpg-connect-agent.o no-libgcrypt.o ../jnlib/libjnlib.a ../common/libcommon.a ../gl/libgnu.a -lassuan -lpth -lgpg-error -lintl -lz The only difference is "-lpth" which is the output of "/usr/bin/pth-config --libs" (or in your case /usr/local/bin/...). So the problem was really an error on the generated Makefile, you should report it to gnupg.
