Suhaib M. Siddiqi,

Just some questions.

cygwin.cf has the following lines

XCOMM #define StdIncDir               `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed
':libgcc.a:../../../../i586-cygwin32/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'`
XCOMM #define PostIncDir              `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed
':libgcc.a:/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'`
#define StdIncDir               `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed
's,\\\\,/,g' | sed 's,libgcc.a,../../../../i586-cygwin32/include,'`
#define PostIncDir              `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed
's,\\\\,/,g' | sed 's,libgcc.a,include,'`

All my dir structures have the newer i686-cygwin instead of i586-cygwin32
Should I update cygwin.cf or just ignore it?

also cygwin.rules has the following

#define MakeDLL(libname,solist)     @@\
 if [ -f $(BASE_COUNTER) ]; then true; \   @@\
 else echo 0x67000000 > $(BASE_COUNTER); fi  @@\
 dllwrap -s --def libname.def --output-lib Concat3(lib,libname,.a) -o
Concat3(lib,libname,.dll) solist junk.o $(REQUIREDLIBS) -image-base `cat
$(BASE_COUNTER)` -lipc @@\

Should -lipc be there

Also, if your cygwin.cf .cygwin.rules cygwin.tmpl are more up-to-date than
the Xfree4.0 FTP archive date 21/3/00
could I pls have a copy


Regards Trevor
