Pawel,

EDM will never, ever build on cygwin.

Note that a new initiative is in the works to build control system gui

tools using the eclipse

RCP platform. This will give you access from windows.

There is also an older display manager, MEDM, which I believe will

compile in a windows

environment with certain 3rd party X Windows tools. I don't know the

details but someone

on the tech-talk list may be able to help.

Hello,

I am having an issue with getting EDM to compile on cygwin. I noticed

that in the EDM documentation it says that LessTif is not recommended;

but that seems to be the only option available with cygwin as I can’t

find the OpenMotif package. Is this my issue or am I doing something

else wrong? I also saw that the makefiles under EDM set

SHARED_LIBRARIES = YES, is this a problem under cygwin?

I attached the make log, help would be appreciated.
