I have the same problem with Main/renderer.cxx. Your solution (or one very like it) solves the problem. I guess near/far are reserved words in Cygwin? Thereafter, FGFS compiles and runs under Cygwin. I'm not using Andy's libs, but those built by Norman, with a couple of tweaks which have been listed recently (although these may not now be needed, since OpenAl has reportedly fixed the problems). Your errors seem to be lib-related so perhaps the solution lies there. Norman's libs are available at: ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Win32/openal_cyg.tgz Regards, Vivian _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
