Re: [icu-support] Compile ICU for g++ on Windows

[Steven R. L. <sr...@ic...>]

Dave,
 I compile ICU as shared libraries under cygwin using g++. 
(continuously, actually.) Are you using a recent ICU and Cygwin?  That 
will do you a lot of good with the  'runConfigureICU Cygwin' option, it 
will created shared libraries (.DLLs).
