You might find this of interest http://atlantictechsolutions.com/scribusdocs/cygwin.html After 0.9.8 is released (updates to the docs are more important :) . I am going top give another go to compiling 0.9.8 on with the KDE-Windows QT 3 ported libraries. The lead developer mailed me a few days with news of a revised binutils, specifically to fix the kinds of linking problems I had with QT3 on cygwin. Regards, Peter
