Hi Przemek,

There is no such option in any of the MinGW versions (3.4.2,
3.4.5, 4.1.2, 4.3.1) I have installed (on Windows). [ Well,
4.3.1 has -mcygwin in its help somewhere, but both -mcygwin,
and -mno-cygwin are completely ignored. ]

I recall adding this in those times when the only way to
create a 'mingw32' build, was through a Cygwin installation
and this switch.

Do you mean this is needed for the Linux MingW cross-compiler
environment, still? If that's the case, shouldn't we add this
command line option in the starter .sh files?

Brgds,
Viktor

    % -mno-cygwin options removed. No longer needed. If someone
      wants to compile a mingw build using cygwin, this option
      should be explicitly specified as C_USR/L_USR and 'gcc'
      should be used as a compiler. But this setup is barely
      supported in Harbour, so don't expect it work.

I do not understand. -mno-cygwin disables CYGWIN interface
and forces MinGW one. -mcygwin is opposite option. Removing
-mno-cygwin may break builds in environments which have
CYGWIN interface enabled by default.

best regards,
Przemek
