For what it is worth I have a Linux machine (RH 7.1) on which I have
built the XEphem executable. I use the program on the Linux box and
all is working well. I also have a windows (W2000) machine. I am
running XWin32 on my windows box and can run XEphem on my windows box
via X. I don't have to mangle anything to get it to build on windows
as it is running on the Linux box (where it ought to be running...).
Another cool thing is anyone on the network can run it via X on
whatever box they may have, as long as it has XWindows available.
It even runs fairly fast under X on windows, no less. It is noticably
quicker on the Linux box. I haven't run the windows executable
natively. Don't really need to.
Like I said, for what it is worth.
