Modifying ddd/config.h will not help. There is a problem with the lesstif distribution on cygwin. See: http://www.lesstif.org/INSTALL.html
Is the following what you are referring to?
"On windows using Cygwin, U/WIN or Interix, LessTif must be built as static libraries. Because, one of the biggest issues with X on Win32 is the moronic DLL format. Specifically - it is not possible to export data from a Win32 DLL in a form that can be used to statically initialize another global variable. Data access from a DLL requires at least one pointer indirection, and hence executable code. This is why X11R6 doesn't have DLLs for Xt/Xmu/Xaw (and Motif) on Win32."
If yes, these rules have been changing. Brian, isn't this what you were specifically working on recently?
