After a little less than a day's work, I have Anders' headers and def files all working with Cygwin in our source tree. tcl/tk/tix/itcl all compile fine as well. I did have to go through winsock.h and add the requisite __INSIDE_CYGWIN__ ifdefs to support Cygwin's confusing but necessary internal mixing of Winsock socket calls and Unix socket structures/definitions. That was the most time-consuming thing. But the headers were missing a few defines mostly related to console I/O, I also had to adjust a few @xx values in kernel32.def to get cygwin1.dll to link, etc. But so far so good... I'd be happy to hear any opinions as to completeness vs. the existing headers. -- Geoffrey Noer noer@cygnus.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
