Thanks for pointing this out. It dawned on me yesterday that the reason I didn't see these problems is because I don't build with X support on Cygwin. Once I configured in X support, I saw these errors and a few others. It took me awhile to work out the right changes to make, but I have checked changes into the XEmacs 21.4 mercurial repository that enable XEmacs 21.4 to build under Cygwin with X support. One problem remains - Xaw3d support does not work, so I removed that from the configure line. The problem I found was that XEmacs seemed to be expecting version 8 of Xaw3d, but Cygwin supplies version 7. I still plan to release 21.4.23 in the near future, but I would recommend making an updated XEmacs 21.4 kit before that point. Regards, Vin Shelton
