Thanks all for the help. It´s been very insightful. I´ve been playing around with it a bit today, mostly MSYS, and have thus far only had one issue with it - cl won´t compile the program because of bad parameters being passed to it (since MSYS uses // instead of /). (Not sure if that´s an issue for you guys, mingw-msys, or the cccl guy; advice appreciated.) Well...I´ve got most of the rest of the month to learn this. I don´t need it on my project until sometime in January when I have to write all the scripts. :-> Thanks, Ben --- Howard Chu <hyc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Brian Dessent wrote: > > > So really in a way using Cygwin with -mno-cygwin > and using MSYS are the > > same conceptual thing. > > Yes, the code produced by Cygwin's gcc -mno-cygwin > should be identical > to that produced by the MinGW gcc.
