Re: ssh does not find the config file?

2003-08-21 Thread Bill C. Riemers

I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. In the Cygwin User's Guide, it shows how to create a dll with gcc with the -shared switch in much the way you create a shareable library, but it also shows how to create a export library with gcc. In one case you end up with a dll; in the other,
