Xcdroast is simply a front-end for cdrecord and various other utilities. As such, it is meaningless to compile it for Cygwin/XFree86 unless the underlying utiilities work under cygwin. I would suggest going to the CDRecord homepage (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html). Look for cdrtools and read the README.win32 which gives instructions on how to compile cdrtools under cygwin. Questions related to getting cdrecord etc to compile etc could be directed to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list (since it is not a X application), but make sure you have done your homework first. If you can get cdrecord working, then you could look at trying to get xcdroast working under Cygwin. xcdroast is built with the GTK. Last I heard compiling GTK apps under Cygwin was not completely trivial. http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/ may be a good starting point. Others may suggest other sites. I'm not really up on this. Anyway, good luck. :-) Rasjid. -- Rasjid Wilcox Canberra, Australia UTC + 10 http://www.openminddev.net
