I have command line stuff (from carnegie-mellon) and it compiles and runs in windows 98 as an exe. I do not really have even xfree86! I had jumped to the conclusion that you only compile under cygwin using gcc and run it in the Win desktop. Naive me! I have just been to the kde-cygwin site (quite different from the general red hat / cygnus site) and I see there are indeed many packages. Qt for instance needs byacc -- bison will not do -- and wrappers and special hand holding type routines. Ok I have 500 MB of cygwin already.
PS. I at this very moment am writing from a Linux box. To proceed bit by bit. Slowly. bart at solozone.com
