Hi Curt,
Alex sorted out the problems..
TBH, I don't want to have to install an Ubuntu VMWare machine (which
will probably run like a dog on the mini-itx machine with 256MB its
running on).
The other reason is I have to use the windows machine for other radio
software that is not available for Mac/Linux (read 99% of all radio
software).
MS Virtual PC only runs on Intel x86 CPUs (or at least did when I
last looked). The CPUs in these mini-itx machines are EPIA Via chips.
So, I'll stick with cygwin for the moment.
It works perfectly..just configuring it now.
thanks again.

Has anything changed with regards Xastir on cygwin? I managed to
build Xastir on cygwin a few months ago and it built perfectly.
I don't run on Cygwin so can't answer directly as to whether
anything has changed, but most likely it's Cygwin and/or one of the
packages that has changed, or else you don't have the ImageMagick
library installed, but do have the headers installed.
If you can't get this solved quickly, I'd suggest trying the VMWare
Player/Ubuntu install instead. That way you can avoid Cygwin
altogether. Still a free option:

Another method is to install MS Virtual PC (free) and install Linux
inside that, then compile/install Xastir. If anyone wants to do
this, take notes, and write up a Wiki page for it, we'll get that
added to the Wiki as well.
