AFAICT, the differences are limited to:
driver/XDRIVER
bin/libG11.dll
etc/mon.start
If you have built an X11 version (without --enable-w11), to build a
native version you need to:
1. re-run configure with --enable-w11
2. clean the directory:
src/display/devices/XDRIVER/XDRIVER24
3. remove start.o from src/display/d.mon/pgms
4. build:
src/display/devices/windows
src/display/devices/XDRIVER
src/display/d.mon
The exact details depend upon whether you're using the standard or
alternate build mechanisms.
FWIW, the alternate mechanism is much quicker at building the
documentation on Cygwin, because it uses make's internal timestamp
checking logic rather than repeatedly spawning the etc/getModTime
script (process spawning is *much* slower on Cygwin than on Linux).
The difference is particularly pronounced for rebuilds, where the html
directory may account for half of the total time. Also, the alternate
mechanism builds the documentation last.
