I wasn't aware that there was something like a "Mingw compiler", since the only reference to Mingw that I have seen is the header files and the mingw32 library included with CygWin B20... > Since you're not trying to port a UNIX app, I'd suggest using Mingw so that > you don't pull in the Cygwin DLL and the overhead that goes with it.

If I grep for _findfirst, I find it in the libmingw32 file, but it won't link even with that one. And for using Win32 calls, from what I figured from the FAQ, I need to write -mwindows to do that, and that will turn the program into a GUI application, which I do not want...? -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
