Re: Build DLLs for windows


Yes, i already used the -mno-cygwin option using the cygwin gcc, but
it produces a lot of errors when linking errors against a library
(openssl), and if i use the mingw gcc, it can't find the library.
Since i compiled that using the cygwin.

There is a nice tutorial here
http://www.delorie.com/howto/cygwin/mno-cygwin-howto.html

I still have issues building a .dll as output, as well it's .def file,
i don't know if the gcc can produce that, or if I have to use an
external tool for generating those.

As far as I understand, using the mingw gcc I could produce more
friendly code than using the -mno-cygwin parameter. Is that right?
Since cygwin gcc doesn't have the -lsdc++.

I just would like to have a cygwin interface-like (use tool-binaries
like ls, and other unix stuff) but having a native windows binary so
i'm a bit confuse what way should I take.

Thanks for your help
