For my personal use, I use gcc to generate binaries, but occasionally I need
to make a binary available to someone who doesn't use Cygwin. For that I use
Cygwin's x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.
After the fact, I would like to know whether the binary requires Cygwin support
or not. One way is: strings foo.exe | grep cygwin1.dll
That's a bit too rough. Something like
cygcheck ./foo.exe | grep cygwin1.dll
or ldd ./foo.exe | grep cygwin1.dll
would be more precise.
One of my wishes for Cygwin is for the "file" command to make the distinction.
Well, SHTDI. IOW: please don't feel as if anybody were keeping you from
constructing a 'file' rule that achieves that, and offering it to the
public. ;-)
