As I dig through the archives, I see this topic coming up from time to time.
However, I don't understand the history behind why cygwin is not supported
using the standard build scripts.
It appears (after testing for a month) that building under cygwin is
possible with minor changes to the source (based on sources from the 2005
geda suite ISO and the cygwin 5.0 setup program). For instance, the hardest
was in gnetlist given a strange interaction with *optarg being defined in
parsecmd.c (commenting out the unneccessary declaration fixed the problem).
Either I'm way off the beaten path (and nobody else cares), or I'm missing
something during my testing and will hit it when I get around to doing
something useful.
