Even if you compile with gjc, you still need the virtual machine, which is as far as I know not available. But you have another option. You can make your Java program OS-independent (as it should be) and run it from the shell script in Cygwin using a usual Java VM for Windows. For that, you need to fix paths in environment variables appropriately (unix->windows) using the cygpath utility before starting java. You can see examples of this in startup scripts of some well-established Java projects like Tomcat, ActiveMQ or JBoss. -- Filipp Gunbin -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
