So far no relevance to C++ _language_... I'll hold my breath..
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!)
Again, no relevance to C++ _language_... Still holding my breath...
I don't know what cygwin is. Maybe I misunderstand the post. There is a
32-bit mingw c++ (g++) compiler atwww.equation.com.
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.)
