No, the native build is only supported for mingw. I simply had handy the overall patch and not separated it because it is ok for either type of builds. I have separated the patch needed for a cygwin build only and you can find it here http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnCygwin Cygwin/Win is a (almost) supported target (you can specify it by -target cygwin-g++-win32) in Qt. I say almost because it seems an unfinished work, and at first I had to massage it because of path style problems. In a word, it compiled but was unusable. Notice that I am talking about the cygwin-g++-win32 target, as there is also a fully functional cygwin-g++ target but it uses X11. The cygwin-g++-win32 target uses code from both the win32-g++ (native Windows) and the cygwin-g++ (Cygwin/X11) targets, and allows building a Cygwin Qt without X11. Apart the path-style problems, I recently merged the code dealing with sockets for a posix target to cygwin-g++-win32, thus allowing unixsockets in Cygwin Qt/Win (they are already functional for Cygwin Qt/X11). About pushing a change to people not interested in it... Uhm... I have already to fight here to have accepted a change for cygwin and I fear that I have neither time nor energy to open another war front... -- Enrico
