I now have a reason to be happy when sat in front of an NT box *sigh*. One question / problem I do have though is this; Makefiles work, they work fine and I'm glad for it. But I cannot get a certain socket++ library built because it uses a 'configure' script that keeps on complaining about not beaing able to find things, well it doesn't complain but it can't find include files and libraries, it doesn't realise that its GNU gcc or that it has the libg++ available. Now I think this is to do with the directory structure used with the cygwin distribution - but I'm not sure - I was wondering whether this sounds like I need to mount parts of the cygwin structure onto some 'standard' names like /usr/include /usr/lib /usr/bin etc etc etc. If so does anyone know exactly what I have to do? I have been fiddling with this for a couple of days and I'm going mad, if I can't get it going I may just go through and make my own makefile from scratch until I get it right, it couldn't take any longer than blindly groping for an answer *sob* If anyone has info on getting configure scripts to work then I would _*really*_, /really/, appreciate it.
