Re: EDM on Cygwin

[John William Sinclair <sinclairjw@ornl.gov>]

Pawel,

EDM will never, ever build on cygwin.

Note that a new initiative is in the works to build control system gui 
tools using the eclipse
RCP platform. This will give you access from windows.

There is also an older display manager, MEDM, which I believe will 
compile in a windows
environment with certain  3rd party X Windows tools. I don't know the 
details but someone
on the tech-talk list may be able to help.
