RE: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2006-q2/msg00051.html
I am not subscribed to cygwin-patches so I'm posting here. Forgive me if I've transgressed boundares, but I've always considered mingw as a cygwin-dependent app. Applying the above patch, running aclocal and then autoconf-2.5x, then ./configure ---host=mingw32 --target=mingw32 works for mingw and w32api subdirs from a cygwin bash shell. I haven't tried with msys tools since I don't have them. Danny
