What are the exact problems?
Your previous post with build errors indicates you
had a lot of *c.a nd *cf files mixed from tar-balls
and CVS. The link time errors of -lipc not found
was due to olde Cygwin.rules file you were using with
new cygwin.cf. In the new code I disabled #define
HasShm
Youc an edit cygwin.cf file and change #define HasShm
NO to YES. But you will need IPC from
cygutils.netpedia.net and install it in
/usr/lib. Also rename libcygipc.a to libipc.a. The
IPC headers from IPC from Chuck needs a little
hacking, otherwise you might get a lot of compilation
probelms.
The XFree compiles without problems with
Cygwin Net release. Buying CD is your personal
choice.
I might start posting build log files.
