Note C:\tools\cygwin\home\layr\vcxsrv\xcb-util-errors\obj64\debug\extensions.c doesn't exist. Only file by that name is in mesalib/src/mesa/main/extensions.c

Any pointers? Still trying to get to compile in order to debug the super+L issue.

I am using the python from cygwin. It seems that the standard windows version of python does not understand the linux path name conventions.

Right... should python be uninstalled on the host?
So far, I

1. created link to python.exe pointing at the cygwin one, got past the error
2. got an error on missing gperf - installed w/ cygwin (needs to be added to bulding.txt?)
3. got an error about missing python3.6m.exe - solved same way as 1);

Now getting this err
