Re: Link error with static version of zlib?

2017-07-24 Thread J (Jean-Claude Gervais)

I have to chime in here; Originally, I became curious about Linux BECAUSE of Cygwin. As I experimented more and more with Cygwin, I became really impressed with how it was able to support quite a lot of Linux apps at the source level will relatively little trouble.
