Re: Library issues with GCC - libuser32

Jeff Bader wrote: 
Using GCC: For ld to find "-luser32", I downloaded a version of w32api
and then copied the libuser32 file into the main cygwin library. Why
was this necessary to use GCC? Why could I not just install the devel
package and be done with it?

Thank you,

Jeff

Because the devel package in Cygwin is for making CYGWIN apps, not Windows apps. To make Windows apps you need to install the mingw tools and then use the "-mno-cygwin" option so the system knows to use the mingw tools to build a Windows program.
