FWIW, on Linux, not > only binutils is used, but also gcc. Are you sure about that? It seems that function doesnt even work: $ python3.6 -q >>> from ctypes.util import find_library >>> print(find_library('z')) None >>> print(find_library('cygz')) None >>> print(find_library('z.dll')) None >>> print(find_library('cygz.dll')) None $ python3.7 -q >>> from ctypes.util import find_library >>> print(find_library('z')) None >>> print(find_library('cygz')) None >>> print(find_library('z.dll')) None >>> print(find_library('cygz.dll')) None $ python3.8 -q >>> from ctypes.util import find_library >>> print(find_library('z')) None >>> print(find_library('cygz')) None >>> print(find_library('z.dll')) None >>> print(find_library('cygz.dll')) None Also see this post: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-02/msg00432.html -- 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
