Linking under cygwin

Hello,

I’m using SDL 1.2 under cygwin, and I can link succesfully as long
as I don’t use any of the cygwin libraries (e.g. readline).
Here’s what sdl-config --cflags --libs outputs:

-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/SDL -Dmain=SDL_main
-I/usr/include/mingw -DWIN32 -Uunix -mno-cygwin -L/usr/local/lib
-lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -mno-cygwin -lmingw32

Presumably this is due to the -mno-cygwin flag. If I understand
correctly, even under cygwin, SDL gets built using the mingw
stuff. I tried to build SDL without the mingw and no-cygwin flags
by hacking the configure file, but this (predictably) didn’t work.

Is there any way I can link in cygwin dll’s with my windows SDL
application?

thanks,

Alexandre Mathy

Yes there is. Use google and search on libsdl.org for Cygwin
Compilation. There’s a way to use Cygwin’s DLL files instead
Of the Mingw stuff.

But I’m gonna warn you. In the beginning I used Cygwin because
Of it’s shell posabilities. Later one I switched to the SDL
Mingw distribution (which had the shell) and I found out that
Applications build with SDL on Mingw are a lot faster then
Compiled With Cygwin DLL’s.

From http://www.mingw.org) and follow the directions from the
Following url/file :

From my point of view, switch to mingw and msys (both are available

Hey Niels,

Thanks, I got it to work.
I’m just messing about with sdl, performance isn’t an issue (yet).
Thanks for the tip though.
