Re: QT/KDE on Cygwin

Yeah, I know Cygwin offers an X11 server (XOrg 6.8.99) on Windows, I'm not talking about that. I just wanted to build the Qt for Windows *source* code using the build tools that I've already installed under Cygwin (g++, GNU make, etc. in the Cygwin UNIX-like environment) rather than the MinGW tools (g++, mingw32-make, etc. in a DOS-like environment) Even though the commands are similar, I realize it's non-trivial to support both, e.g. configure output has
Build is done in............C:\cygwin\home\spage\qt-win-opensource-src-4.2.0
Install prefix............../home/spage/qt-copy
Headers installed to........\home\spage\qt-copy\include
Darn Windows path separators and drive letters! :-)

(I occasionally ran ranger rick's fine KDE 3/Fink work on a company Mac laptop.)
