I assume that the line X_LIBS= -L -lX11 should read something different.
Indeed.
I've tried various things to no avail. What is normally put in a Makefile to indicate the location of X_LIBS for a Cygwin build?
In this case, the culprit is a buggy (or bit-rotted?) configure script for Cygwin. A library search path is not set up so, well, the script ends up with an empty one. As a result, there's no path to put after the -L flag. Since libX11.dll.a is in /usr/lib, you should be able to get away with just eliminating the -L flag completely from the Makefile (I didn't test this). In general, the best place for X specific questions with Cygwin is the cygwin-xfree list though. That's where the most knowledgeable X folks are. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
