Still don't understand because cegcc provides you with POSIX API! And what would mean to port cygwin on Windows Mobile, does it mean you want a terminal with a compiler running directly on the device ? You need to know that cegcc is actually a common name for two different toolchains cegcc = POSIX API + newlib libc mingw32ce = mingw for wince : native API + native libc To say it differently : cegcc = cygwin for wince mingw32ce = mingw for wince But maybe I am the one missing something ? -- 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/
