Hi Marcel,

Yep, he has to have this DLL in the same directory the executable is
in. It contains the UNIX/POSIX-Emulation-Layer that's been developed
to make porting of UNIX Applications to NT as easy as possible.
If you don't need that layer and want to compile "real"
Win32-executables you can use Jan-Jaap van der Heijden's gcc 2.8.1 or
Mumit Khan's egcs 1.0.2 for mingw32. They are available from
http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32/ and
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/egcs-mingw32.html
respectively.
bye
Michael
