To build unixODBC on cygwin, all you need to do is to rerun the autoconf tools to create versions that seem to play on windows, then build as normal. Of course to do this you need to have installed the Cygwin development packages. So: aclocal automake --add-missing automake autoconf libtoolize --copy --ltdl --force Then you can run configure as normal ./configure --enable-gui=no make make install At least that seems to work when I tried it... If you find problems just let me know. -- Nick Gorham (nick.gorham@easysoft.com)
