Kevin, I just downloaded esound-0.2.8.tar.gz but was unable to build it. Here are the exact commands that I used:
tar -xzf esound-0.2.8.tar.gz cd esound-0.2.8 mkdir build cd build ../configure Configure bombs. Here are the relevant lines: checking host system type... Invalid configuration `i686-pc-cygwin': system `cygwin' not recognized checking build system type... Invalid configuration `i686-pc-cygwin': system `cygwin' not recognized checking whether ln -s works... yes ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' Try `ltconfig --help' for more information. configure: error: libtool configure failed That is as far as I got. Was there any magic step that you forgot to mention? Just so you know, I applied the patch to /usr/include/dflcn.h that you gave at: http://www.sitecity.net/cygwin-audio/esound.html So, what gives?
