Cygnus is based upon a simulated UNIX environment and doing a default TEXT mount of a disk, is not really a proper way. Beside, COOLVIEW should be used with binary mounts. Read the Binary mount article at Sergey's web page. I assume a lot of compilation failure which Cygwin32 users are reporting are due to configuration problems. The LessTif-0.87 precompiled library will work properly only if you have your disks mounted as binary i.e. mount -b c: / The distrubtion which I sent to Jon Christopher has libXlt.a missing. However, I have sent him a separate archive containg libXlt.a with headers and DLLs for LessTif-0.871. I think he will make it available through www.lesstif.org. The LessTif-0.87 librareis were tested and worked in my hand to compile the following MOTIF based source codes: Nedit-5.021 Xgraber DDD Debuger 3.1.3 Mxdbg Debugger SM Edit. and few of my own source code.
