The answer to that is as the FAQ states. Using Cygwin .a's with VC++ isn't as easy, since they are going to pull in 'cygwin1.dll' and this cannot currently be initialized properly by non-cygwin programs. Of course, this subject has also be discussed in the email archives. If interested, Alastair Growcott suggested a "workaround". If you're interested in it, see <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg00274.html>. I'd recommend directing questions about this to him, though it's worthwhile to cc the list for posterity. :-) >P.S. Your space key seems to be malfunctioning...
