[ale] Don't flame me -- More Info

[Chris Fowler]

I've tried this and it does not work!


I like the cygwin environment.  In fact, I don't think I'll port to win32 at all!


How can I issue a shutdown in W2K in cygwin?  I want to do it in code.


Chris

Hrm. I don't think that is possible under windows. What you effectively want is
a "static" executable that includes the code itself and all the libraries that
it needs to run. you can do that under unix usually with some compiler option
such as "-static" or somesuch. I would check to see if the compiler you are
using with cygwin (mostly likely gcc) has this option and what it does under
the windows platform.


hope this helps
