Re: Can't build GPS under Windows 2K

Thanks for your fast reply, Arno

Cygwin comes with its own GCC build, isn't it ?

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i
...
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3 (cygwin special)

But there is a switch to instruct Cygwin to use MinGW compiler, can't 
remember at this time it but I will find it.

OK. I haven't understand.

OK.

I think the latest Cygwin is OK as build environment ?

What is exactly the MinGW release you use to build the latest GPS 
binairy available on the libre.act-europe web site ?

The build attempt with MSys instead Cygwin can't explain the error 
mentionned in my previous message (at the first call to GCC)...

Best from Oleron,
