Depending on how complicated the makefile is, you may want to try creating a CMakeLists.txt file from it and use cmake. See www.cmake.org for more information. For the cygwin build, cmake 1.4-6 is in the cygwin setup now, and for the windows build, you can download CMakeSetup from www.cmake.org.
This will handle all path issues and difference between the compiler options. -Bill At 06:42 AM 10/29/2002 -0800, Peter A.
