Using precompiled X11 libs from Arlindo and cygwin.dll from Sergey (not the latest) I was able to compile with the following mods: - replace calls to random/srandom with rand/srand - force it to use dirent.h structs rather than dir.h -- there is no dir.h I still got warnings because xfig unfortunately uses a macro called O_TEXT that is also in sys/fcntl.h (if I remember correctly) but I didn't think this would cause a problem. I also compiled libjpeg and libXpm pretty much out of the box (necessary for xfig). I did get some "incompatible pointer type" warnings for bcopy calls though that I ignored. My assumption that getting it to compile would result in a working binary didn't hold. It seems to start up okay but then immediately crashes with an exception. I haven't really given enough detail for someone to help debug what I've done but I'm hoping someone has been successful in getting a working xfig and can tell me what I've overlooked perhaps. Thanks very much. Anees ashaikh@eecs.umich.edu - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
