IMHO, that is wine-related problem.

HUGE is a SVID-specific value that is equal to MAXFLOAT on my RedHat 7.3
box.  That is *not* the same as HUGE_VAL, BTW, so I'd use MAXFLOAT
instead.  HTH,

Ughhh... I wonder who it was that wrote:

As there seems to some confusion regarding this: Thus I wonder;

 Is there ANY good reading on what is legacy/outdated - and what isn't!?

MAXFLOAT is outdated.  I would suggest FLT_MAX in float.h.

Compiling Wine in Cygwin

[Gregory Nutt]

Trying to compile wine-20030813 in the first release of the 1.5.x series.

I discovered that shader.c is looking for -HUGE which is apparently supposed to be defined in math.h.  I was able to make it compile by changing the shader.c to look for -HUGE_VAL which is defined in cygwin's math.h.  However, I'd like to know if this is a bug to report to Wine or a bug to report to Cygwin.  Since Wine compiles on Linux without a problem, I thought I'd start with Cygwin.

Greg
