g++ -mno-cygwin flag not recognized

g++ -mno-cygwin flag not recognized

[Allan C.]

Hi all,

I am trying to build a win32 project with gcc 5.4 with the flag
-mno-cygwin but the flag is not recognized. Is there an approach I
could release an exe without bundling cygwin's dll?

Regards,
Allan C.

That option has been deprecated for many years.

What you have to do is install one of the cross-compilers (32-bit, or
64-bit, or both), and cross compile the project.

Cross compiling can be as easy as defining CC as the cross-compiler, and
as hard as having to build all the dependencies and make sure all the
right, cross-compiles libraries, are the only ones used.
