[Verse-dev] Building Verse on Win32 (gcc)

[Florian Eggenberger]

Hi TJay,

I've done this successfully some time ago.
Linker errors on Cygwin often occur when you mix up Cygwin linked apps
and native Win32 linked apps.
Try to use the following switches to compile without that cygwin1.dll
-mno-cygwin
-mwindows
... and probably...
-mconsole

I can't remember all the details right now and the sources are at home.. :-)
There are some more minor issues but it is definitely possible.

Do not forget that your application that will be linked against
verselib must also be compiled with those switches.

Yes, I can remember some winsock issues but not the details.
