OK, could you please try the patch at:
<http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200205/msg00048.html>
And let me know if it fixes the problem.
And that fixes the problem indeed. Sorry, I had seen that patch but hadn't
realised that it was relevant. Thanks for the pointer.
Whether the package works is a separate issue: after performing the rest of
the installation process:
cd xemacs-packages/liece
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
The result loads, but M-x liece just gives me that common reponse:
wrong type argument, stringp, nil
I'm probably doing something else wrong but as I just want to get the
packages compiled, not to use liece (at the moment etc.), this isn't a
problem for me.
In case this is of interest to anyone, all of this was with CVS HEAD of
xemacs and the CVS HEAD of packages, with the latest release of cygwin
(1.3.10) on a w2k box.

p.s. I still have the problem compiling tramp-util.el (both with xemacs CVS
HEAD and 21-5-b6 -- fine in 21.4.8) where it loops in the lstream code, but
people seem to be aware of that so I've just cut that out of the makefile.
Perhaps now I can stop testing other stuff and get back to what I was
looking for in the first place :-)
