Right xload does not compile with Cygwin and it will not until cygwin
supports
nls.  It has not nlstypes.h.  you do not need xload.exe anyway.

The xterm in the recent code insists on using libncurses.a.  In Cygwin.cf
file change -ltermcap to lncurses.

Beucase it did not compile? go to xc/lib/GLU and type make there if it
returns errors...
then go to each subdirectory under xc/lib/GLU and type make in each
subdriectory and go back to
xc/lib/GLU and type make again, this might compile it.  Somehow it does
fails sometimes
and that is annoying, I have not find a fix why it compiled once and failed
other times.
But that si what I do when it fails.

then go back to xc/programs and type make that should compile clinets which
needs libGLU.dll.
