First thing: there are 2 ways to use OpenGL and GLUT under Cygwin: through =
an X server and natively. As you=20
ran it under Unbutu, I suspect you use the X server, but please confirm it.=
 I cannot deduce anything from=20
your stackdump. Some applications have configure script to build with an X =
server on Linux and natively on=20
Windows.
=20
If your application goes for the native route, my package (the opengl packa=
ge) is concerned and I will try=20
to help you further. In that case, you may uninstall the other packages men=
tionned above to clear any=20
possible (but improbable) confusion. Try some simple program first: see if =
one of the native GLUT example=20
programs run properly: /usr/lib/glut-examples/helloGlut.exe , then /usr/lib=
/glui-examples/example6.exe .
If they work, try rebuilding them by going to /usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0/G=
LUTexamples and
/usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0/GLUIexamples and typing "make".
=20
If your application goes for the X server route, I will let the maintainers=
 of the related packages take you
from here. You may uninstall the opengl package to clear any possible (agai=
n improbable) confusion.=20
X related issues should be discussed on a separate list: cygwin-xfree at cy=
gwin dot com .
