Installation of GDL under Cygwin

[Steven Albers <scalbers at webtv dot net>]

Greetings Cygwin community,

I'd like to share a few observations/issues I'm encountering when
installing GDL (a freeware version of IDL) in Cygwin on a Windows XP
laptop.

1) When I configure GDL and attempt to set the
ImageMagick path to /usr/bin/include or /usr/bin configure comes back
and indicates it cannot find the path. I have ImageMagick installed
however. Should I point to the binaries or the libraries for ImageMagick?

2) GDL looked for the 'fenv.h' file. As discussed
before this may not exist in Cygwin. I tried a fix and copied the
'fenv.h' (and one related include) from 'mingw' into /usr/bin/include.
The configure appeared to accept it. Is this a reasonable solution?

3) When running 'make' I presently get this message. It may related to the 'sunrpc' installation from Cygwin.

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/Steven Albers/gdl/gdl-0.9rc1/src'

Any comments or suggestions about these items would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
