Thanks for the information on 1.7. Looks like it'll be nice. Now I'm just wondering if I should try updating to it now or wait until it's officially released. Am going to build spkg in Cygwin when I have time to do so. Then the paths should hopefully work like they do in the shell. Was just using a version I already had up and running on Windows to save time. It's a nice way to remove all the installed files in a package in case you have to rebuild (like I did) or just want to remove the package. I'll check the cygwin-xfree list you recommended. I did come across a port of Fluxbox for Cygwin at Sourceforge: http://fluxcygwin.sourceforge.net/ If I have time, maybe I'll compare the differences between this port and the original source and see if I can use similar fixes on the latest version. I'm also hoping to try out the cygport version of Openbox and see if that fixes some of the issues I had with the one setup originally downloaded. Is there a good forum to share tips or patches needed to get applications building and working on Cygwin as opposed to building them on Linux and/or Windows directly? Thanks.
