RE: [CRONOLOG]: Cronolog 1.6.2 for WIndows - Compile Success without Cygwin dependency

Jim
Thanks for the heads-up. I just notice the default generated makefile was calling gcc -g.

One more question.. using statically linked lib in this mode in win32 (ie. apache spawning separate processes
for each cronolog), am i wasting a lot of memory if I am creating a few dozen log files in apache?
Ian.
