Is this even possible? -mno-cygwin and MinGW are the same thing. That flag is just a shortcut to invoking a copy of the MinGW version of the compiler. It removes Cygwin entirely from the picture and switches the toolchain to a completely different target, just as if you were cross compiling. So, just build/use the MinGW version of gcc if that's what you want. To get "gcc -mno-cygwin" working requires that you build and install two separate versions of gcc, which is pointless if all you are doing is using MinGW anyway. > And the reason I'm trying to solve that problem is that Java's JNI works only with 3.4.4 and only when I compile with -no-cygwin. I.e. JNI doesn't work when compiled with 4.1.1. Specifically the JNI example I'm talking about is swig-1.3.31/Examples/java/simple/. I don't understand. Why are you building a 4.x compiler if you already know that what you're trying to do only works with 3.4? Brian
