It compiled and installed OK, but didn't work,. I was advised to using mingw. That's how I got here. Apparently, mingw uses windows DLL while cygwin uses.....something else. I'm a hardware guy (a wannabee, actually!) learning all this stuff to get CAD tools on my laptop, so I can't speak informatively just yet. Been doing lots of surfing and reading though. I will keep your suggestion in mind about Nmake, but having limited time to absorb all this, I'll probably be looking into that a bit later (my own problem, of course). The really perplexing thing is that it fails even if full dos file path is used (and provided to the install command). I wonder if "./" in "./ivl.exe" is being translated into a cygwin path. Anyway gonna keep looking for info and trying different ways whenever I can until something works.
