I have successfully eliminated those two error messages. They were caused by the ACE make include files. In those include files, there are some checking for library, such as PLATFORM_AIO_SUPPORT := \ $(shell test -e /usr/lib/librt.so && echo -DACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS) I commented out those checking related to librt.so* then those error message went away. I don't know whether Cygwin should include those lib or ACE should remove those checking. Anyway, a progress was made. thanks, --- "Larry Hall (Cygwin)" wrote: > Longyu Mei wrote: > > Great!
