The first is not a dll - its an import library(I think?) Cyg prefix is chosen to clearly delimit mingw dll's from cygwin dll's - since, for example, zlib comes in both cygwin and mingw versions, and naming them the same would cause conflicts. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
