-liberty ? Not on my computer. -lmingw32 ? I think that's just one of the redundant things libtool like to add. -mwindows ? Sparsely documented, if at all. I *think* it is to link as a Windows GUI exe rather than a Windows console exe. So, I think you can lose all 3 of these. -- Max. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
