Hi Mary,
Sorry, but what you think I said is not true. My reference with Visual Studio 2005 and Cygwin was in reference to the BLODA that was causing problems with Cygwin (my original post). My last follow-up was to indicate that the BLODA was much worse and far reaching in that it also affected a Visual Studio 2005 solution that I had (a pure M$ product). This VS2005 solution is completely separate from Cygwin and does not use any libraries created by Cygwin. I do not have a method to take libraries compiled under Cygwin and to use them within VS2005.
I apologize for the confusion.
Regards,
-Allan

Thank you very much, Allan, I'm so glad you posted this! So it is
possible to compile
something through cygwin (gcc - make) and then to use it as a lib with
visual studio!
I was worried it would not work, because of an email from active perl
support I
received (I'm pasting it below your text).
If anyone knows of a link which explains how to do this, could you
please post it?
And by the way, has anyone here ever tried using HTK on windows (with
cygwin
I'm sure, because it compiles under Linux but visual studio won't have
anything to
do with it).
Mary
PS for Yaakov: Thank you for your patch, I'll post about this later
otherwise I'm
afraid this discussion might get confusing.
