Re: [Plib-users] PLIB for WIN32 - configure error C compiler cannot create executables

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

Giovi,

     Hello and welcome to the PLIB community.

     I'm a little confused about what you are trying to do.  If you're 
trying to build PLIB for Windows to link to C++ programs in Windows with 
a development environment such as Microsoft Visual C++ or ".Net", then 
you should not be using Cygwin.  On the other hand, if you're trying to 
build for Cygwin (which runs in Windows but feels a lot like Linux), 
then you need Cygwin.

     Unfortunately the "config.log" file didn't make it to my e-mail.  
Can you repeat the last few lines of it here?

         - John
