Re: [avrdude-dev] Building in AVRDUDEWindows

[Weddington, Eric]

I will bet you that when you run cygcheck over the avrdude.exe executable 
you'll see that's it's not linked to the Cygwin DLL (cygwin1.dll). So that's 
great for you, as long as you don't redistribute it. Because then you can run 
into DLL hell.

But if you build this in MinGW, then there's no Cygwin DLL involved, and it 
makes it easier to redistribute the executable (i.e. share your program with 
others).

But congratulations on getting it built! :-)
