Yes it is correct.
But what about commenting our #define SharedLibXpm (removing it from
cygwin.rules) does it still build libXpm.Dll. I assume it will not.
We need #define SharedLibpXpm Yes in cygwin.rules, to build libXpm as DLL.
I did not understand Andy, why after removing #define SharedLibXpm from
cygwin.rules, xmkmf genrates Makfiles from Imakefile with -lXpm after -lXaw.
