Hi Andr=E9,

I think I'm trying to build an X11 application - I'm trying to use a
library called VTK (http://www.vtk.org/). I don't believe it uses
glut, and I do see a bunch of X11 options in the CMake files. Even if
there is no support for hardware acceleration with this method, it
should still build, right?

I do have C:\Windows\System32\opengl32.dll . I should also have the
w32api package because I installed all of the cygwin packages.

Any other thoughts of things that would causes these linking errors?

Thanks for your help so far,

David
