Hi,
I've been building FlightGear under Cygwin for quite a time now, and it
works great. I know I had to completely remove X Windows from Cygwin for
avoiding interference with FlightGear. I noticed problems included (at
least) incompatible opengl libs being linked against in case of X windows
being installed, but there may be more trouble hidden.
Now with time there's a growing number of alternative (in my case TeX
related) graphical programs requiring Cygwin's X server and X libs for
building. I understand the fathers of FlightGear don't want to port Flight
Gear to Cygwin's X port, which they may have good reason for.
I certainly could donate another 1 GB to a second Cygwin tree, which is
neither an elegant nor an effective solution, though.
Thus, here's my simple question: Would it be hard to modify FlightGear's
build system (i.e. the Cygwin part of it) to not link against Cygwin's X
libs in case they are installed?
Regards, Michael
