How to compile static to avoid the need for cygwin1.dll

How to compile static to avoid the need for cygwin1.dll

[Ivan Hernandez]

Hello! i'm trying searchs in google to find info on how to compile 
statically linked binary files on cugwin in order to avoid the need of 
having cygwin1.dll with my programs. I need it because some people is 
alergic to thing that don't understand, and i will not code twice things 
that are already done in *nix and compiles with cygwin!
Please, if someone knows something better than the old -static thing for 
the gcc let me know!

Impossible. Cygwin can't be used as a statically linked library (unless you
patch Cygwin in such a way that it can, but that would probably be far more
work than it's worth).

Get a coupld of good antihistaminica for that allergy and try to live with it :)

Nope, no chance.  You're aware of the Cygwin license especially when it
comes to usage in prorietary projects, are you?  Just asking...

No, i'm not aware. Anyway i think that compiling GPL'd programs will not 
make any problem... i guess... no matter how much i touch the code in 
order to make it work !

As long as it remains in the open source and your targeted audience will
get the source code including the Cygwin source code you used for
packaging, no.  For more details see http://cygwin.com/licensing.html.

Ivan,

Cygwin doesn't support static linkage with the Cygwin runtime functions.
If you want to build applications that are independent of Cygwin, you may
try using MinGW (by installing the gcc-mingw packages and passing the
"-mno-cygwin" flag to gcc).  Be aware, though, that you won't get full
POSIX emulation with MinGW.  See <http://mingw.org/> for details.  Please
report any resulting MinGW problems to the mingw-users list.
