Re: cygwin1.dll not found, embedding dll into EXE


Yes my app is open source. I mean that when I used g++, I had to move the
cygwin1.dll to the directory where my EXE was located. In case I do ask
people to install cygwin, will they have to move the DLL too ?

Is it some config problem at my end ?
