Any Ideas?? Hi Tom, I am running the latest versions from the ftp.freesoftware.com mirror as of today. Before starting the texinfo make, I ran cygwin's setup.exe and brought everything up to the current revs. The cygwin package version is 1.1.5-7. (There is now a cygwin 1.1.6-1, but it hasn't made it to the mirror site yet.) OS is Win 98 SE. I just redid the texinfo-4.0 make starting from scratch, with no changes other than the -DWIN32 patch. I saw no errors and the installed binaries work fine. So, I'm mystified why we're getting different results. In my version of the ginfo Makefile, "-ltermcap" does not appear. Otherwise, the library list matches yours. For some reason, the configure script is adding libtermcap under your environment, but not mine. You might try deleting "-ltermcap" from the Makefile to see if it finishes without error.
