Here is the info about the enviroment: cygwin version 2.427 window 98 Fox-1.4.6 I did: ./configure --disable-shared make then I got: FXApp.cpp:3293: warning: unused variable `const FXchar*d' fxpriv.h: In function`FX::FXString FX::translateKeyEvent(unsigned int, unsigned int, long int)’: fxpriv.h:101: error: `FX::ToUnicodeEx' is not a function, /usr/include/w32api/winuser.h:3737: error: conflict with`int ToUnicodeEx(unsigned int, unsigned int, BYTE\*, WCHAR\*, int, unsigned int, HKL\_\__)’ FXApp.cpp:3737: error: in call to `ToUnicodeEx' FXApp.cpp: In member function`virtual long int FX::FXApp::dispatchEvent(void_, unsigned int, unsigned int, long int)’: FXApp.cpp:4190: warning: int format, FXID arg (arg 3) FXApp.cpp:4203: warning: int format, FXID arg (arg 3) Somebody has some clues to deal with it? Thanks in advance. uncutstone ---

I change to Fox-1.2.16, and finish compilation and installation of Fox. Then I start to compile FXRuby-1.2.6 on cygwin. After uncompressed FXRuby-1.2.6.tar.gz, I run “ruby install.rb config”, then I got some errors like this: install.rb: entering config phase… —\> lib —\> lib/fox12 \<— lib/fox12 \<— lib —\> ext —\> ext/fox12 /usr/bin/ruby /home/software/FXRuby-1.2.6/ext/fox12/extconf.rb D:\CYGWIN\BIN\RUBY.EXE (474495): \*\*\* couldn’t allocate memory 0x10000(4128768) for ‘D:\CYGWIN\BIN\CYGSSL-0.9.7.DLL’ alignment, Win32 error 8 ``` 769 [main] ruby 386639 sync_with_child: child 474495(0xF4) died ``` before initialization with status code 0x1 826 [main] ruby 386639 sync\_with\_child: \*\*\* child state child loading dlls D:\CYGWIN\BIN\RUBY.EXE (467779): \*\*\* couldn’t allocate memory 0x10000(4128768) for ‘D:\CYGWIN\BIN\CYGSSL-0.9.7.DLL’ alignment, Win32 error 8 Somebody can give me some clues to deal with this?
