To help you a bit, I added a cygwin profile and CHOST detection support to bootstrap-prefix.sh.  Starting from tomorrow, latest_tree should have the profile for you. I found that with Cygwin 1.7.x you need to use i686-pc-cygwin1.7 as CHOST, so the bootstrap-prefix.sh script does so

No, but zlib is really very custom made build stuff, so I'm not surprised if it need some help from the ebuild to actually do something useful. OK, then I switch to linux, to find out how it should behave. Al

I was able to get this working simply using the ecopy script, with ruby-1.8.7_p299 installed. Also, we should all remember to mention the ecopy page @ http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/ecopy.xml when newbies ask about ebuilds. :-) Thanks-- =Nadine=

gcc-apple does have fortran support (although I can remember when it didn't), and you can also compile the standard version of gcc with fortran support (this is how I have always done it to get the latest bells and whistles for parallel computing) . Just add sys-devel/gcc fortran
