Hi, I did port wmii to Cygwin-1.7 recently. This work needs latest fixes for the make infra as Kris said. Also, embedding strncasecmp() in cmd/main/menu.c was required on my build env (but I dunno why and didn't investigate that issue.). And FYI, default sh wmiirc didn't work as I expected b/c there is some internal buffering problems I heard.
