Hi, As I understood the reason for not being able to statically link the cygwin1.dll in to a binary and distribute that is because of licensing issues. Are there any technical issues that would make it impossible to link with cygwin statically?
The reason I am asking is I am working on a GPL project (WinDRBD: https://github.com/LINBIT/windrbd) and am currently delivering the cygwin1.dll along with the binary. It would be desireable to have the cygwin1.dll statically linked (for example to avoid version clashes) instead. Is that technically possible? If necessary I am ready to compile cygwin (at least the needed files) on my own. Thanks for any insights on that topic, Best regards, - Johannes -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
