They each have their own list(s) of dependencies, but cygwin1.dll is not one of them. They don't grok cygwin's unix paths, tho. And, as always, the binutils tools (incl. windres) are GPL, so if you distribute the windres binary you must also distribute the binutils source code. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
