gEDA-user: building under Cygwin

["Alex Gerdemann" <null_soup@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I apologize if this has been asked before; I scanned the archives without 
success.

Just found out about the gEDA project on the web, and was very excited.  I 
have been looking for quality electronics design tools that don't cost 
thousands of dollars for some time, and gEDA looks like it's exactly what I 
want.

However, I am a Cygwin user, and would prefer to not have to also use MinGW. 
 I just attempted to build gEDA under Cygwin and had the build process dump 
me saying, "Building gEDA/gaf under cygwin is not supported."  Since MinGW 
is actually a fork of Cygwin, it ought to be quite similar.  Also, the 
required libraries (guile, gtk, etc.) are available as prebuilt packages 
under Cygwin.  So build process in principal could be simpler than in MinGW. 
 What would it take to make the build work under Cygwin?  I did notice that 
the Cygwin was the Win32 platform of choice in some of the older versions.

Thanks,

Alex
