Hi,

I tried the code from the CVS, but with those changes also the simple
'wstring' program is not compiling.

What all I did to test :

1) Have done a fresh Cygwin[1.5] installation.
2) From http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ have downloaded the cygwin-inst-20080407.tar.bz2 file
3) tar -xvjf cygwin-inst-20080407.tar.bz2
4) The out put of the above command are two folders - etc and usr
5) Copied the folder into C:\Cygwin\ , thus overwritting the existing files.
6) Restarted the Cygwin terminal and tried to build the Sample application which again failed to
   recognize 'wstring'.

Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

With Warm Regards
Vipin

Simple.  Cygwin 1.5.x doesn't support Unicode.  Code in CVS for the next
release series (1.7.x) will.  If you want to get some early insight, you
can check out a snapshot <http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>.  This, of course,
isn't released code so use at your own risk.  If you do try it and have
problems, report them here.

Anticipating your next question, there is no release date yet for 1.7.x.

You've answered this question for yourself already, no?
