Greetings,
Using Cygwin 1.5.5-1, I am porting a Unix shared library to Windows.
After making and linking the library with libtool, two DLLs were
created:
libxxxxxx.dll.a
cygxxxxxx-1.dll
libxxxxxx.dll.a is the import library
cygxxxxxx-1.dll is the dll
Read

for a more complete explanation.
I guess I was only expecting: libxxxxxx.dll.
Why were the 2 names generated and why the "cyg" prefix on one of
them? Also, which one should I use?
Thank you for you patience with me as I learn the cygwin environment.
Roy
