Hi Pedro,
I have started down the road of building cygwin, but did run into a
few issues so don't have a debuggable version yet. If you beat me to
it, please let me know. Thanks!
Any findings?
Unfortunately no, I did get a clean build, but "make install" following it just
created complete havoc in my cygwin environment (lots of errors indicating that
a rebase was required, but rebasing didn't fix them). Reinstalls of the cygwin
base dll (and other packages) didn't fix it, and I was forced to delete my
entire cygwin directory and reinstall all cygwin packages that I needed from
scratch. I'm not inclined to go through that pain again any time soon.
You should build as suggested in
https://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin
so that "make install" installs everything into a temporary location from which
you can copy what you need.
