Do the packages id3tag and lame exist for Cygwin? I would like to try
compiling mp3fs on Cygwin and I cannot find them.

If you mean libid3tag, it is available in the distribution; install
libid3tag-devel and its dependencies. lame cannot be shipped however
for legal reasons, but it's easy to build yourself with cygport:

You are right of course. How did I miss that?

You're missing a build dependency: libgtk1.2-devel.

Thanks again. That did the trick. Sorry for the newbie questions.
BTW, you mentioned a legal problem. I am seeing that LAME is LGPL licensed
and therefore should be eligible for inclusion in Cygwin(?).

No, there are plenty of LGPL packages in Cygwin. The problem with LAME
is that it still has a number of active patents. [1] is a good write-up
describing the problem, and said patents are enumerated in [2].

It's probably due to

Thank you, David. My apologies for the late response, my junk filters have
