Shouldn't "configure" for a Cygwin source package just Do The Right Thing? That's the whole point of "configure", isn't it? So if some Cygwin source packages depend on win32 header files or whatever, shouldn't the configure script included with those packages automatically add "-mwin32" or "-I/usr/include/w32api" or whatever to the compiler flags? jik -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
