I am using the full Cygwin install with MSVC .NET 2003 (C/C++ 7.1), and so am following the instructions for building given in "The native Win32 port built with Microsoft Visual C" - and THAT is where the problem is. Purely by chance, I happened to notice that at the end of the "The native Win32 port built with Mingw" section there is an additional build step listed: "make -f Makefile.nt opt.opt". Note that without being particularly attuned to the team's use of the "opt.opt" nomenclature, one *might* expect that a target called "opt" would do the job. And so, there are NOT *four* makes, but *five*, which explains the problem... note that this doc error only [finally] came to light because of the ongoing absence of Windows binary builds. ;) Robert Roessler roessler@rftp.com http://www.rftp.com
