Building xfree

While building xfree 4.0 I get the following error.

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-cygwin/2.95.2/../../../../i686-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot
open -lXext: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1

 Can anyone spare a moment to point me in the right direction to fix it?  It
looks to be a simple path or environment variable problem?   What is the
best way to tell ld  the lib is in the /usr/X11r6/lib dir as xfree does not
use
"./configure --prefix=/usr/X11r6 --x-includes=/usr/X11r6/include --x-librari
es=/usr/X11r6/lib "

My build is std CD v1.0 build with a path to gcc 2.95.2 added.


Regards Trevor
