Hi, Good day. I was trying to compile the latest version of ns-allinone2.27 using the latest version of cygwin (1.5.??) . I manage to run the ./configure but when I run the "make all" It started with nice and smooth compilation like below gcc -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ rm -f tcl2c++ g++ -o tcl2c++ tcl2c++.o g++ -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ g++ -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ g++ -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ g++ -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ g++ -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ g++ -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ g++ -c -DNO_TK -DNDEBUG -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBT$ rm -f embedded-tcl.cc ./tcl2c++ et_tcl ../lib/tcl8.4/init.tcl ../lib/tcl8.4/history.tcl ../lib/tcl8.4$ UNTIL it stops at this following command (with lots of Errors): g++ -c -DNO_TK
