Charm++ parallel programming system

["Sangamesh B" <forum.san AT gmail.com>]

Hi Gengbin,


     We built Charm and NAMD on Windows using Cygwin.

The charmrun.exe and namd2.exe executables contain cygwin1.dll dynamic
library.

To remove this, we used "-mno-cygwin", in src/arch/net-cygwin/conv-mach.sh
as follows:

CMK_CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"
CMK_CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin"

But it thrown an error, during compilation.

Can you tell me where we can mention this or any other option, which can
produce the executables free from cygwin1.dll.

Thank you,
Sangamesh
