I looked at cygwin.cf and edited the following lines:

#define StdIncDir  `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed 's:libgcc.
a:../../../../i386-cygwin32/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'`

#define PostIncDir `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed 's:libgcc.
a:/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'`


I changed them to this:

#define StdIncDir   `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed 's:libgcc.
a:/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'`
#define PostIncDir  `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed 's:libgcc.
a:/usr/local/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'`


This seemes to be the only place where includes are referred to in 
cygwin.cf.  I tried xmkmf -a on the same package again, and 
xmkmf/makedepend is still looking in the following directories:

 /usr/X11R6.4/include/
 /include/
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-include/
 E:/usr/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/include/
 E:/usr/H-i386-cygwin32/lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/egcs-2.91.57/

I think that xmkmf is not looking at cygwin.cf for the include path, 
because the changes which I have made seem to have no effect.

Thanks, 
Tom Weichmann
