I hear you; here's help. Please advise as to where this should be
documented.
This is from the Install file in the XFree *binary* (not source) directory
on Cygwin :
The following eleven (11) tarballs are optional. You should
download the
ones you want to install.
1. Xfsrv.tgz Font server
2. Xnest.tgz Nested X server
3. Xprog.tgz X header files, config files and compile-time libs
4. Xprt.tgz X Print server
5. Xvfb.tgz Virtual framebuffer X server
6. Xf100.tgz 100dpi fonts
7. Xfcyr.tgz Cyrillic fonts
8. Xfscl.tgz Scalable fonts (Speedo and Type1)
9. Xhtml.tgz HTML version of the documentation
10. Xps.tgz PostScript version of the documentation
11. Xjdoc.tgz Documentation in Japanese
To me this reads that you should (a) install the non-optional ones (didn't
include that list here),
and (b) Xprog.tgz from the optional ones.
Do note that I am assuming that you install XFree binaries, not sources.
After that you should find that you can compile LessTif.
Again if you want us to add this to our docs, please say where exactly.
