Thanks Yaakov!

I applied your patch. It looks brilliant - but I don't have a Windows/Cygwin machine to test it out.

Btw, the flags for Cygwin and MinGW look very similar, but slightly different. It would be nice to compare them and see if we can sync them maybe ?

Thanks

I'm attaching a patch against gnustep-make-2.2.0 which fixes some issues with DLL creation in the Makefiles:

1) On Cygwin, shared libraries use the 'cyg' prefix to distinguish them from native Win32 libraries, which either use the 'lib' prefix or none at all.

2) Use the '-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base' flag instead of manually rebasing for better results.

With these patches, and the new shared libobjc in our gcc-4.3 packages, I have successfully built the current GNUstep core with the X11/Art backend along with several applications.

Gratuitous screenshot:

Packages will soon be available from the Cygwin Ports project.
