Hi John, hello list,

I didn't graft gm2 onto 4.3.4 sources, I just used 4.3.4 to build it.
Just read my email again and understand the possible misunderstanding. I
wanted to point out which version of gcc I used as Cygwin offers both
gcc-3.x.x and 4.x.x. I also downloaded the "official"
gcc-4.1.2+gm2-cvs-latest.tar.gz...

But I can report a functional build now for i686-pc-cygwin under Windows
Vista.

The trick with commenting out strsignal in string.h worked...

I also forgot to mention libpth-dev in my former email. Configure warns
you if it is not present as it is necessary for people using coroutines.
The Cygwin-installer offers the package in Devel and Libs.

I do not know if it is of use to someone but I uploaded the binary build:

http://freepages.modula2.org/downloads/gm2.zip

The compiler lives in c:/cygwin/gm2 on my box and I recommend putting it
there. I tried to give a prefix ~/gm2 but this doesn't work. You have to
give an absolute directory name (differing to Linux) - the gm2 homepage
told me about it correctly but I had to try...

Regards

Christoph
