Installation on Cygwin Xfree

Cygwin Xfree is a port of XFree86 to Microsoft Windows. If the gcc compiler is installed, it is possible to compile and run imal under Windows. However, some incompatibilities may exist. I experienced problems caused by incompatibilities with the Lesstif that was installed on Cygwin.

  1. Make sure Motif is installed.
  2. Copy the file scsi/sg.h from a Linux system to the same location in Cygwin.
  3. Test the config.guess script to find out whether it prints ``cygwin''. If not, replace config.guess with the following one line script:
            echo cygwin
    
    and make it executable.
  4. Run ./configure , make and make install as usual.
