Also, you can add c:\cygwin64\bin into your windows path, and all (most??) of the DLL's will be properly found, and exe's you have built (or core cygwin exes) should run from a windows native command prompt.

I normally run things in a cygwin bash shell, especially now that I have 32 bit and 64 bit environments on the same PC.  I do have batch files to add the cygwin bin path, for either 32 or 64 bit, if I need them.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your answer.
The last time I compiled JTR in Cygwin was +6 years ago, so don't 
remember the details, but I am pretty sure that the cygwin.dll and other 
files were put in the /run folder once completed.....

I added "c:\cygwin64\bin" do the windows PATH, but still getting message 
about the missing cygcrypto dll...

-.-PhanTom-.-

c:\cygwin64\bin
