You need to bunzip2 and untar the src, then cd to /usr/src/cygwin-1.3.5-3 (or wherever you extracted it to) and do the following:
mkdir build cd build ../configure make make install Also, I don't know if you need to manually export CFLAGS=-g, just don't strip the dll after you build it. IIRC when you build anything it has the debug info included, but the binaries are shipped stripped :-) Another thing- if you plan on debugging another cygwin1.dll with this debug version of the cygwin1.dll, search for "running independent site:cygwin.com" on google, there is an excellent discussion (don't try this at home kids) about running two independent cygwin1.dll's.
