Io on cygwin ?

hi,

yes, the problem it seems, is that Windows defines an environment
variable named 'OS' (set to something like 'winnt').

in the Makefiles we find this:
OS ?= $(shell uname -s)

which leaves the 'OS' var alone if it already has a value...
so the Makefile will try to compile in 'Windows' mode,
not in 'cygwin' mode.

you can unset this var before doing a make & it will fix this problem.
(ie w. bash: unset OS)

let us know if you succeed in building AD running Io under cygwin.
When I tried, I got it to build, but could not get dynamic libraries
to work (crashes)...

I was unable to try the latest sources from darcs because of a small
darcs repository glitch,
maybe the latest srcs work better w. cygwin !?

good luck
