I have cygwin on windows through which I run gcc. But after creating .exe files, if I run them on other computers which dont have cygwin, it says cygwin1.dll not found. Is there a way to compile them so that they run on any system?
To do this, press the Windows key, type cmd , right-click Command Prompt, and then select Run as Administrator. Once the prompt window is open, double-check that the compiler installed properly (and that the environment variables are set) by running the command gcc -- version at the prompt.
You need to compile for MinGW (Minimal GNU Win32) mode. You do that by either installing mingw instead of (or in addition to) cygwin, or by passing the --mno-cygwin compiler option to the cygwin gcc.
