Cygwin/XFree86 has already been compiled. The User's Guide tells how to install the precompiled binaries. There are no build host and cross compiling host at all when you are trying to install software. If, on the other hand, you were trying to compile Cygwin/XFree86, then you need to look at t

Hi Rob I didn't mean to suggest that there is a problem with the cygwin pthread implementation. Some gnome-vfs tests fail with various errors, which one I get seems to be non-deterministic (ie I guess there's a/some race condition(s) so different threads win each time?) Sometimes I get: GThread-
