Interesting question. No one really cares about building from the cygwin source tarballs, because they prefer to build from cvs, because building from source tarballs is broken, because no one really cares about building from the cygwin source tarballs, because they prefer to build from cvs, ...... and so on ..... > I ran "./configure" > And then "make" > > tiswctype.c ..linked > twctrans.c ..linked > twctype.c ..linked > wctype.exp ..linked > loading cache ../config.cache > configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in .. ./.. > make: *** [configure-target-newlib] Error 1 Hmm - it seems that configuring in the same directory as configure is broken, because no one does that .... you get the idea. OK, so: tar jxvf cygwin-1.3.21-1-src.tar.bz2 mkdir build cd build ../cygwin-1.3.21-1/configure make and, it breaks because winsup/w32api is missing. That's because that is the w32api package, released seperately. So install that package in the relevant place in the source tree? Well, no, because no released version of w32api is sufficiently up-to-date to build cygwin 1.3.21-1. Ouch. So, you should probably build from a cvs checkout. It will make your life easier.
