Disclaimer: My testing has been minimal so far, but the X GUI and command line versions seem to work OK.

Installing additional development libraries/packages were needed for the following: gd png freetype X11 termcap Then everything in the linux build script worked, except it gave: ld: cannot find -ltermcap Based on https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2010-07/msg00389.html , the following change was made (and reported to the developer for a fix): $ diff build_linux_gfortran.bash-bkup build_linux_gfortran.bash 196c196,197 < LDFLAG="$LDFLAG -lreadline -lhistory -ltermcap" --- > # LDFLAG="$LDFLAG -lreadline -lhistory -ltermcap" change per cygwin > mailing list, 2010-07 > LDFLAG="$LDFLAG -lreadline -lhistory -lncurses" So, thanks to the list! -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
