[XForms] Can't build xforms

[James Ng]

Dear all,

I just downloaded xforms 1.0 from the mirror site ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/x11/misc/xforms/stable.pkg/1.0/ and tried to build it without success. I am using Cygwin on Windows XP Pro.

Following the instructions in the INSTALL file, I ran the commands:

xmkmf -a
make

at which point I get the following error messages:

making all in ./lib/include...
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/xforms-1.0/lib/include'

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
