I don't have to change the PATH with my setup, I just do an effective change root command. I use all cygwin tools with the mingw32 compiler/binutils set and giving the appropriate paths to the appropriate environment variables. I have never ever, as I'm sure that Mumit hasn't either, had a conflict of headers and libraries. Keep the two sets separated in there own world and you won't have a problem. BTW: This setup allows me to install a snapshot for testing without disturbing what I know already works. === Earnie Boyd < mailto:earnie_boyd@yahoo.com > Newbies, please visit < http://www.freeyellow.com/members5/gw32/index.html > (If you respond to the list, then please don't cc me) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
