Re: building (porting) c++ project w/ deprecated features -- did I do this right?

Agreed. I'm just an engineer and self-taught C programmer who regularly 
compiles his own stuff on cygwin when it's not in the standard distribution. 
I'm usually pretty successful at resolving problems, but this CSL build sucked 
me into a downward spiral of little fixes that never did end up working.

If I take the big picture approach, I will have a lot to learn. I'm strictly a 
K&R C guy, I don't know or do etags, autoconf, gdb, etc. I'm probably long 
overdue to learn some of these tools. If I take this on, what resources are 
there to help me learn to code in the gnu style, and learn modern C++? (the 
best my library has is Stroustrup, 1997)
