You should find It's not possible to compile xterm with cygwin.dll now :-( Xterm does a lot of initialisation of X libraries and then does fork(). But static data areas of dll's (libX11.dll this case) are not copied to a child on fork - it's a cygwin bug. So xterm even if compiles without errors, will not work properly. -- Sergey Okhapkin, http://www.lexa.ru/sos Moscow, Russia Looking for a job - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
