What do guile and flex have to do with runtime libraries? It sounds like you need to modify your path to include the gcc 4.0 directory as well as the cygwin directory but I wouldn't be too confident that this would actually produce anything useful if you really need cygwin utilities to build lilypond. Does lilypond even build under mingw? cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
