> The current Cygwin distribution, 1.3.17-1, can be installed by
> going to the URL above, clicking "Install now!" and selecting
> a couple of things, including a selection of packages to install.
> 
> If you select the right packages, this will provide an X server
> (XFree86), and everything that is required to compile Freeciv.
> It provides the Xaw and Xaw3d libraries, but no GTK+.  (GTK+ can
> be installed with a separate installation process.)
> 
> The standard ./configure && make install sequence attempts to build
> the Xaw client with the Xaw3d library.  This fails on the step of 
> linking civclient, because of multiply defined symbols in Xaw3d and 
Xt.
> This may be due to the subclassing Freeciv does on Xaw; I haven't
> investigated.
> 
> The sequence ./configure --with-xaw && make install works fine and 
> produces the Xaw client.  Clearly it will report on any missing
> packages, but installing them is as easy as rerunning the setup 
> programming and selecting them.
> 
> The Freeciv versions I tested were 1.14.0-beta3 and the Dec, 21 
> development version.  I haven't managed to compile with the 
additional 
> GTK+ libraries yet.

the
