I checked the Make file, it used this flag:

replace gcc by gcc-3
gcc 4 is now the default on cygwin but the cross compiler is not
supported for that version.

What do you mean by not supported? JonY maintains the cross compilers....

I meant that i686-w64-mingw32-gcc exists but not i686-w32-mingw32-gcc.
I thought that w64 meant "built on win64" and mingw32 "run binary on win32".
So it seems to me that with cygwin running on a 32 bit windows, it is
not possible to cross compile to win32. However with a 64 bit windows
you can produce win32 applications.
However, I just tried to use i686-w64-mingw32-g++ on my win32 machine
with a hello world program and it produces an binary that can be used
from windows on that win32 machine.
So my question to the list: what is the meaning of w64 in the name?

Well, I don't know but I'd really like to know what is the replacement
these days for

gcc -mno-cygwin -mwindows x.c

I tried

i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -mwindows  -m32 x.c

but get

x.c:35:13: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'WinMain'

and that also for all other option combinations that made sense to me.

Thanks,
Michael
