Hi Dave, Thanks for the description of the problem, and the workaround. Our code is pretty complicated at points, so it might be challenging to be sure of the include order, but I'll try.
The other suggestion I saw from Christopher Faylor was to try Cygwin commercial support. This was actually the first major problem I've had with Cygwin, so I haven't had to use it before and didn't even think of it. I'll try contacting them tomorrow, and possibly get a fix for the strange looking defines in Xwindows.h, so the order of includes shouldn't matter. Personally, I'd be happy with sleep() being defined in unistd.h, and Sleep() defined in Windows.h, and keeping the two separate.
