By "it builds OOTB on Cygwin" I assumed it was without -mno-cygwin. If you want to use it, you should rebuild all other libraries with -mno-cygwin. -mno-cygwin is probably more appropriate for a MinGW mailing-list. > 2) by default a /usr/lib/libSDLmain.a is built, and sdl-config spits out > - -Dmain=SDLmain and -lSDLmain, but this is only a static library.

Actually, it's a dummy file: 840 Mar 15 16:57 libSDLmain.a Maybe you get the same compiling with Cygwin (without -mno-cygwin). -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html -- 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/
