Thanks Jeremy. I like to try the patches. But I get the source from svn rather than the git as Yaakov suggested. Actually, I am not so well understand the page "http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/ports;a=tree;f=graphics/graphviz";, How should I get files from there? If I click on the file, I will be just bring into another web page with file source shown with line numbers. Another question is, what patches I should apply? Only the 2.26.* or the all other 2.*.* patches?
