Thanks all for the help. It´s been very insightful. I´ve been playing around with it a bit today, mostly MSYS, and have thus far only had one issue with it - cl won´t compile the program because of bad parameters being passed to it (since MSYS uses // instead of /). (Not sure if that´s an issue fo

It sounds like you want to use MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) rather than Cygwin. When used in conjunction with the MSYS shell environment, MinGW allows building normal WIN32 applications with no dependence on anything but standard WIN32 DLLs. Bob On Fri, 9 Dec 2005, BRM wrote: I want to be

I want to be able to run the AutoTool chain natively under Windows. I did some looking around, and everyone´s answer primarily seems to be ¨run Cygwin¨. Unfortunately, Cygwin is not an option for me as I can´t tell my clients to install Cygwin to use my product. (They´d go to someone else.) Same ap
