If you install Cygwin normally the libuser32.a file is installed in a directory which is automatically searched. If that was not the case then you couldn't build any programs. Despite other messages in this thread, I don't see anything here to indicate that this has anything to do with -mno-cygwin. gcc finds -luser32 properly whether you use -mno-cygwin or not. cgf -- 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/
