I can get everything (in 09pre2) compiled under cygwin, but the link-stage fails on -ldpstk. Which does not seem to exist in cygwin any more (I can still see it in the older versions of xfree-x86, but the current version have a directory /xc/dpstk/ but there doesn't seem to be any shared binary like there was before (libdpstk.dll.a can still be found in the archives).
So under a current cygwin, this is a no-go.
I am only faintly aware what dpstk really is (something about display-postscript) so I'm wondering where the dependency on it comes from and what one might do to replace it with whatever the newest versions of xfree are using.
Ideas anybody?

I'll keep the community posted if I get any farther than what is posted there, but I'd certainly appreciate it if someone could look this over who actually has a clue of programming with the GNU build chain (of which I'm at best an ambitious layman)...

Sorry -- that was supposed to read "trying to get GDL to run under cygwin", not "...under linux". It works fine under linux, obviously - otherwise I wouldn't have tried to install it under cygwin in the first place...

For what it's worth, I made notes of two days of trying to get GDL to run under linux. They're here:

Summary: things don't work.
