21             <p>
22             <div class="intro">
23             This one's pretty simple to fix, and maddeningly difficult to figure out.<br>
24             If you compile nedit 5.5 on cygwin, you may get errors involving the following:<br>
25             <ul>
26             	<li>Suggesting that you check the documentation the documentation for ld's --enable-auto-import for details 
27 rizwank 1.1 	<li>Not being able to auto-import string __XmStrings or XmStrings or _XtShellStrings 
28             </ul>
29             <p>
30             I can't find the exact error message because I can't seem to get it back again.<br>
31             <p>
32             
33             All you have to do is type (at a bash prompt, before you make)<br>
34             <i>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/bin</i><br>
35             
36             This fixes it! <br>
37             
38             The bit that finally clued me in was info on <a href="http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.15/ld/WIN32.html">direct linking to a dll</a>. I still don't fully 
39             understand whats wrong, but its 11:30, and I have a lab to do that was actually due --- three days ago?
40             
41             
42             <p>(By the way, notices like Info: resolving _transientShellClassRec by linking to __imp__transientShellClassRec (auto-import) are <b>NOT</b> errors!><p>
43             </div>
