Re: How to run cygwin compiled/linked application on machine without cygwin installed?

I have c++ application built on machine "A" with cygwin (1.5.25-14)

application I get alert messages that various cygwin dlls are missing and
that reinstalling may help to solve the problem.  My understanding is that
only the cygwin1.dll was required.  I ran cygcheck on my application
executable and I did get list of several dlls (eg: cygXm-2.dll) as
dependencies.  I am uncertain how to proceed.

If installing Cygwin is not an option for some reason, then you need all the DLLs you see listed by 'cygcheck'. Of course this will make you a <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP>. You have been warned and may be shunned. See if you can sleep well now! ;-)
