XView libs ported to Cygwin (sort of)
[I am posting this mainly to help the 2-3 others out there who are still
burdened with XView apps and need to port them to Windows via Cygwin.]
I have ported the Xview 3.2p14 libraries, libxview and libolgx, to Cygwin
with the following caveats:
* It has not been substantially tested. Only the XView clock client and my
(reasonably complex) app has been used to test.
* Cygwin has no implemented virtual itimers, so the XView virtual itimers
are stubbed out with unknown effect.
* Does not work when library compiled with '-O2' option for unknown reasons.
* Have not (and might not) compiled XView as shared libraries.
The port was based on the xview-3.2p14-16.src.rpm source from
http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/xview/ (which has Debian bug fixes, I
believe).
Contact me if interested (even if several years from now [Sep'03]). I know
what it's like to have to maintain ancient (like 6 years old!) software.

And if you want to convert those Xview apps to Motif, we have a converter.
