Thank you for this comment. It gives me a place to start. If there are any other important initial steps to the "standard procedure", (or a place to find a list of all the steps) please let me know. Also: The issues that I am facing are clearly not specific to the cygwin-xfree group. When I do have further questions related to porting a very old package (that does still build and work on Linux) to cygwin, which is the best forum in which to ask them? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
