Subject: Re: problem building program:  undef ref _imp__gettext

Thanks, that worked.  But, it makes me confused.
When I build this particular app under linux/debian,
it does NOT have the -lintl linker flag.  And when I add
it, the link fails.  But under cygwin, I need it.  

Can anyone out there help me reconcile the issues here.
(So I can go back to the source and either provide a patch,
or do whatever to get it to work in both environs).

Thanks.
