Yes, I think so. > and then use 'find' to pull out all of the .hc files. The target "hc-file-bundle" in the top-level Makefile should do the right thing. > After that It should be fairly simple to get a Cygwin build going > right? -Ben I doubt it'll be trivial - probably lots of #ifdef mingw32_TARGET_OS will need to change to #if defined(mingw32_TARGET_OS) || defined(cygwin_TARGET_OS) but there shouldn't be any major new code to write. I'd proceed by grepping for mingw32_TARGET_OS and checking each one to see whether it should change, otherwise you could end up with hard-to-find bugs that show up months later.
