I'm not 100% certain here, but I believe the answer is no. In order to use SChannel, you'll need to link against MSVCRT or a compatible runtime, but it's not possible to link against both that and Cygwin at the same time (probably because they both provide the same symbols). If your constraint is that you need to interact with the Windows certificate store or such, you could see if there's an OpenSSL or GnuTLS plugin that will do that for you and then build against that library or plugin. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
