Running an application, compiled in cygwin, without having cygwin installed

Question

Let\'s say I have an application which I compiled under cygwin, and I want to distribute that application without having the user to install cygwin. Would it be enough to packag

Answer 1

You could try to compile everything as static. That should allow you to run everything without the need of the the libs (since they are already in your binary). But this will also mean that it might not work an all platforms if cygwin would need a different or newer dll.
