gcc -mno-cygwin (compiler flag no longer exists)

[Almo]

Hi!

I'm working with Cygwin under Windows, and it looks like -mno-cygwin is no longer supported. From config.log:

Code:

configure:2457: result: gcc -mno-cygwin
configure:2689: checking for C compiler version
configure:2697: gcc -mno-cygwin --version >&5
gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted cross-compiler.

The install info says to do

./configure
jam all

But ./configure stops saying that the compiler "cannot create executables."
Does this mean I need to install mingw?

[res]

Maybe Cygwin has a package for a “a mingw-targeted cross-compiler”; that might work as well.

Note that MinGW/MSYS is the recommended way to build with gcc on Windows anyway. Building on Cygwin is rarely done (and may be broken).

Ok, will try that. Thanks.
