building icewm-1.2.20 on cygwin

[Charles L. W. <cw...@ga...>]

Compiling ICEWM under Cygwin:

After some searching of mailing lists and trying different configure options I was able to build and run
icewm-1.2.20 under Cygwin v1.5.12 (all packages updated, WIN XP Pro SP2) using the following options with configure:

./configure --disable-xinerama --disable-xfreetype --disable-nls --disable-shape  --disable-xrandr --without-imlib --enable-corefonts
make
make install

Attempts to build with xfreetype support failed due to unresolved symbols even though the Cygwin Xft libraries and development files
were installed.  The current Icewm is very fast and works well with the Cygwin X-server. Has anyone else compiled icewm under cygwin including
xfreetype? or other options enabled?

Thanks!
