However, telling people we use cyg instead of lib for $reason, and then not pointing to at least one project using this prefix seems puzzeling. Given that Windows doesn't use a prefix at all, the URL to mingw-w64 might help, doesn't it? > Also, reading the whole page, the section "Linking against DLLs" needs > updating since GNU ld has had the ability to link directly against DLLs > (automatically generating the necessary import stubs) for a number of years. What do you suggest? Shall we just remove the section entirely? > Also, there are other mentions of MinGW.org on the cygwin website (e.g. > https://cygwin.com/links.html) which also need updating, if that URL is no > longer valid. Yeah, we should remove them or move them to mingw-w64, too. Thanks, Corinna
