When you changed your make files did you include the X11 support or take that out? I have X11 running, works could. I have the X11 headers, but when I try to compile with this support it says it can't find them because it expects them in a different location. I posted to Xfree for that. I wanted to know if yours worked without this, that would save some pain. I did have the same exe issues. I do have the real binary in nethackdir. I changed the program name in the make file to nethack.exe and then the other stuff worked fine. I also changed the user to my user and the group None which worked fine also, then all the chmod parts of the make install worked fine. I got the 3.4 release of nethack and am working from that now, but it hasn't compile yet. The issue with strncomp was a case problem. Is lower case in the standard cygwin library and uppercase nethack. I can't put to much more time into this but I think it would be nice if it worked. Thanks for the help.
