Hi!
I need to compile with "Make" a source written for linux that I need
to execute under a Win32 system.

I tried to launch Make under cygwin, and it works fine, but it doesn't
run under Win32 without CygWin (cygwin1.dll is required, and even if I
put this file in the application PATH and in windows/system32 path,
the executable doesn't work!)

I read that I need to compile sources using MinGW g++ version, but
launching makefile after setting the MinGW/bin path in PATH enviroment
variable, I get a lot of errors.

What's wrong?

Thank you.

So far no relevance to C++ _language_... I'll hold my breath..

Again, no relevance to C++ _language_... Still holding my breath...

Ah, a mention of a C++ compiler. That should constitute relevance,
right? Wrong! This is about using your build environment and tools,
and has nothing to do with C++ _langauge_.

That's simple. You're posting to the wrong newsgroup. Try 'gnu.*'
hierarchy.

I don't know what cygwin is. Maybe I misunderstand the post. There is a
32-bit mingw c++ (g++) compiler at www.equation.com.

You're asking in the wrong place? Off hand, it looks like
you're trying to mix envirionments. It's possible, but it's
generally much easier to use just a single environment: either
Cygwin, with the make and g++ from Cygwin, or MinGW, with the
make and g++ from MinGW. (One of the reasons its simpler, of
course, is that you only have one place to ask if there are
problems: on either the CygWin mail list, or on the MinGW mail
list.)

Very off topic, but: CygWin and MinGW/MSys are both Unix like
environments for Windows. Both provide g++, make and most of
the other tools in the Unix toolkit, and both use pretty much
the same code base. So you'd expect them to be pretty similar.
However: CygWin is large, slow and invasive; MinGW/MSys is
small, fast and unobtrusive. In addition, I found the people on
the CygWin mailing list snotty and unhelpful, where as those on
the MinGW/MSys mailing list were amongst the nicest and most
helpful I've encountered anywhere. (Just my personal
experience, of course.)

FWIW, I seem to recall that Cygwin versions of GCC provide a -mnocygwin
(or somesuch) switch, which compiles non-cygwin1.dll-dependent
executables - it should be pretty much the same then as using MinGW (in
fact I think Cygwin uses the MinGW GCC port).

Cheers,

Yes. Cygwin is not really ment to be used for a compiler so much as a
complete unix environment for windows. The compiler is just a small
component of a bigger product.

Please don't quote signatures!

That's not what I meant to imply. Yes, Cygwin does serve to supply a
POSIX (i.e. Unix-like) environment on Windows systems and, as such, makes
available a GCC Windows port... which there's absolutely no reason not to
use. The point I was making is that Cygwin's GCC is also capable of
producing non-Cygwin-dependent binaries if that's what you want.

(There, I have removed the signature your highness. I hope I didnt
cause you a stroke by leaving it in the last time, since it obveously
nearly killed you. Because there is no reason otherwise that one would
care about 1 random line at the bottom of a quote).

I mainly ment that if you are not specifically looking to have a full
unix environment in windows it would be kind of a waste of resources
to install cygwin, rather than just mingw alone.

Now, instead of extend a simple courtesy, you've just insulted your
fellow netizen. Why??? I am really itching to know.
