Some more information about mwm.exe in lesstiif-cygwin-0.93.18.tar.bz2.
The mwm.exe in that package (/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm.exe) needs the following dll's:
libICE.dll, libSM.dll, libX11.dll, libXext.dll, cygwin1.dll and KERNEL32.dll.
So obviously it has linked libXm and other needed libraries statically.
Also this mwm.exe has the 100% CPU-time bug when idle.
One other thing: please keep the lesstif cygwin packages (on sourceforge and
the 'official' cygwin-XFree86 package) synchronised: i.e agree on same prefix etc.
Maybe the sourceforge page should point to the official cygwin-XFree86 package in
the future.
I do not want to end up with mwm.exe in both /usr/bin and /usr/X11R6/bin
and libXm.a, libMrm.a and libUil.a in both /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib.
