> I just downloaded esound-0.2.8.tar.gz but was unable to build it. Okay, you can chant an incantation at configure to get esound to compile: configure --target=i686-pc-linux --host=i686-pc-linux
That causes the build to work on Cygwin. It seems that esound is using an ancient (1999) version of autoconf that doesn't know that Cygwin exists. I need an autoconf/automake wizard (Robert Collins comes to mind :) to update autoconf/automake for esound and send the patches in to the esound maintainers. That way we should be able to build without passing fake build flags on Cygwin. Harold
