You've forgotten about this? http://www.mail-archive.com/cegcc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00036.html http://www.google.pt/search?hs=BaT&q=cegcc+script.sh There is a script under src/ called script.sh, that does that in a better way for mingw32ce. The dll names won't conflict because they will have a version number on it. On the desktop cygwin vs mingw also have this problem. To solve it generically, on Cygwin they prepend "cyg" on every system dll. ld knows about this prefix, and transparently discards it. Eg: -lstdc++ looks for a cygstdc++ file. We could also use that feature. I'll go rename script.sh to build-mingw32ce-dlls.sh to make it more visible.
