a snippet from aplus-fsf-4.22/src/main/Makefile :

I assume that the line
X_LIBS= -L -lX11
should read something different.
Indeed.
I've tried various things to no avail.
What is normally put in a Makefile to indicate the location of X_LIBS
for a Cygwin build?
In this case, the culprit is a buggy (or bit-rotted?) configure script for
Cygwin. A library search path is not set up so, well, the script ends
up with an empty one. As a result, there's no path to put after the
-L flag. Since libX11.dll.a is in /usr/lib, you should be able to get away
with just eliminating the -L flag completely from the Makefile (I didn't
test this).
In general, the best place for X specific questions with Cygwin is the
cygwin-xfree list though. That's where the most knowledgeable X folks
are.
