Just doing some searches on the internet, there seems to be an awful lot of
misinformation / misunderstanding about what the various Cygwin-gcc compiler
and linker flags do.
For example, I saw one article that said that that flag -mno-cygwin causes
an executable to be generated which does *not* require cygwin1.dll to be
present on the host machine. That doesn't seem to be true (I've tried it).
I saw another article which said that if you don't use the flag -mwindows, a
DOS terminal will open every time you launch your app. That doesn't seem
to be true either (at least, not on my machine).
Is there any resource available where I can find out some (authoritative)
information about what the various flags actually do?
Thanks,
John
