Hello: Thank you very much for the wonderful job that you are doing.
It is making my life much easier.
Here is my two cent's worth. ( I am sure this issue must have come up
before,
but I could not find any entries in FAQ's or mailing-list archives)
1) I tried to compile X11 libraries using xmkmf and imake.(Using Segey's
patch).
2)Imake complains with "cannot execute /lib/cpp"
3) I made a shellscript named /lib/cpp with the following
#!/bin/sh
gcc -E $*
4)I have been able to compile X11 client programs just typing xmkmf and
make.
Best Regards
Toshiyuki Nakata

This is a shortcomming of Imake. Not gnu-win32. I don't really know of
any [i386] systems with a /lib dir.

I agree.
I was not complaining about gnu-win32. I was just trying to point out
that by making a /lib/cpp shell script with
#!/bin/sh
gcc -E #*
had made my porting much easier. (similar to having /bin/sh or
/etc/termcap..)
Cheers
Toshiyuki
