If they are just warnings, then there is no problem. Those "warnings" are really just informative messages...it has been suggested that we silence them, but I dunno if the changes are "accepted" enough to justify silencing those messages. It's been about four months; I (arbitrarily) set six months as my target age before I'd submit a patch to binutils-patches to silence them. > so I'd like to understand how to > make this work with the dll (partly so I don't need to pass arguments > to configure, because every time I forget to do that, I waste a lot of > time). Again, are you SURE it's not working? auto-import warnings are actually an indication that things are going well... *PLEASE* post the ACTUAL output from your "failing" link command. > I seem to have incorrect includes, but I'm pretty inexperienced, > and only have been using the setup tool -- is the answer to fetch > newer includes manually ?

As of 5.2-7, those references to ncurses_dll.h are out of date.

Sorry it was confusing. If you have the following files, then you did it right: /usr/bin/cygncurses6.dll /usr/bin/cygncurses5.dll /usr/lib/libncurses.dll.a --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
