How do you mean, "And, additionally"? As was clear from my original
post, which you quoted with your reply, I have successfully compiled
sitecopy and am using it happily.

Check out my sig. I'm a mere tech writer. I'm not a software engineer.
Cygwin and open source tools had no presence at Mosaic before I
introduced them. As far I can see, this is also contributing to the
project. Am I mistaken? Does the Cygwin project not exist to enable
many people, including non-programmers, to use these excellent tools?
cgf, please don't play whack-a-mole with everyone who doesn't include
patches with each post. All I did was to try and give some feedback
on how Cygwin's being used here. I didn't demand that anyone do
anything. What I meant to convey was that I didn't expect anyone to do
anything that wasn't a priority for them.
This list is immensely helpful, and various people have succintly
told me to just put cygwin1.dll in the path, and all will be fine.
(Sinan Unur, on the sitecopy list, noted that cygintl.dll is also
necessary if sitecopy was compiled with NLS.) A couple of other
people just flamed me (actually, Michael Erdely did both :) Thanks
for the pointer, Michael). Someone, give cgf a bunch of red roses to
cheer him up! ;o)
