I just tried compiling with that simple configure and it succeeded. I suggest that you update your cygwin installation to the latest release as, IMHO, that is your problem.
I guess that is cygwin's problem. I did basically a fresh installation of 1.5.18.
If you want, I could privately email you my own built moc.exe and uic.exe as they do not depend on the broken cygqt-mt-3.dll.
Please do. You mean I only need these two files to use cygwin/qt3, right?
Curiously enough, lyx works well with cygqt-mt-3.dll, the only problem being that it cannot be quit but should be killed.
That should be something we need to figure out.
AFAIK the i386-pe.x-no-rdata script is required in the final link step (I don't know why it is needed when building for X11).
I have no idea what it is doing. I may have to add its content to my sconstruct cygwin/profile. We will see. Bo
