I will check. I subscrive only to digest version of Cygwin list, because most of the questions directed to me by Cygwin users are posted at Cygwin-xfree mailing list, which is a low volume mailing list ( less then 10 messages per week). > >> efforts, tweaked to create MSVC project files for OpenDX too. > > I haven't looked at that, no, but I'm going to get the wrappers working if > it kills me.
