Hi,
I was able to resolve this myself. I had to link to X11 after your libraries.

So I changed the Makefile in cmd and cmd/wm to read

LDFLAGS = -L../liblitz -llitz -L../libixp -lixp -L../libcext -lcext
LDFLAGS += ${LIBS}

instead of

LDFLAGS += -L../liblitz -llitz -L../libixp -lixp -L../libcext -lcext

and that worked.

Now to get it working with Cygwin/X .... Another post I guess.
