Could I get rid of Cygwin.dll/Cygwin1.dll in program compiled under Cygwin ?


Hello everyone,


I have a program that is completed under Linux, it requires library tidy, PCRE and libcurl, which could be found in Cygwin too.

I could compile my linux program through Cygwin and produce an EXE file, however it do require 'cygwin.dll' installed by the users.

I am wondering if I could have someway to produce out a stand-alone EXE file that could run independently from Cygwin ? ( I don't mind to combine that cygwin.dll and the EXE together for a larger EXE file).

Is it possible to do that?


Thanks,

-Kun

You will have to travel the long and weary path of using MinGW to build the libraries you need as static libraries.

I have followed the twisted maze of library dependencies before when I built xchat for Windows directly from the source.

Good luck in your quest.
