You probably have the sources for some old (unmaintained?) version. Are you sure this version is even supposed to bework on Cygwin (or Win32)? Also, you first say "ORBit for Win32", but then you try to build it under Cygwin? Don't mix up the two. Cygwin is really a different (Unix-like) operating system, than just happens to run on top of Win32. (Technically Cygwin is a Win32 DLL, and Cygwin executables are Win32 executables that use the Cygwin DLL.) (Also note the licensing of Cygwin: Cygwin is GPL, and any software you distribute that uses the Cygwin DLL must also be GPL or compatible.) Please note that porting ORBit2 to Win32 was not trivial at all. See the ChangeLog in recent versions (like the latest, 2.14.4) for details, entries by me from around December 2004 onwards. It might be that the much (?) older version you are trying to build is easier, I don't know. Anyway, you can find prebuilt binaries of ORBit2 for Win32 (*not* Cygwin) at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/ORBit2/2.14/ . It requires glib and libIDL, and glib requires gettext and libiconv. Look for those in the hopefully obvious places on the same ftp.gnome.org host. (gettext and libiconv are in "dependencies")l --tml _______________________________________________ orbit-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orbit-list
