(So that we can use POSIX paths with it?)My very first version was a Cygwin app. I converted it to Mingw when Chuck pointed out imagehlp.dll is dependent on msvcrt.dll. Now that I'm using Ralf's imagehelper library we have a choice (unless rebasing cygwin1.dll is a requirement). Although, I waffle on the Cygwin vs. Mingw issues, I'm leaning toward Mingw.The only reason I can think of to make it a cygwin app (and I think it is a powerful one) is for the path issues. If someone wants to rebase cygwin, maybe the README could tell them how to do that, e.g., make a copy, rebase that, use Windows tools to copy the rebased DLL back to cygwin1.dll.What is the consensus on Cygwin vs. Mingw? We already have 2.75 votes for Cygwin. :,) I won't mind replacing getopt() with popt anyway.Problem: If it was Cygwin, it couldn't use any other Cygwin dll - like cygpopt-0.dll (it might need to rebase them). It's somewhat an unanswered question whether rebasing cygwin1.dll is necessary/useful/harmful. IMO, we already have strace & cygcheck that don't do Cygwin paths. It might be better to get rebase in as is, and think about this as a possible long term enhancement (you know, that lightweight path translation library mentioned as a possibility in the setup TODO).
Umm... couldn't you just link statically to libpopt.a? Cheers, Nicholas [Yes, the new popt will be out soon, have patience =)]
