I finally managed to re-build Cygwin, and your hint helped me a lot! The problem was that i was downloading the sources using Cygwin's CVS on a machine where Cygwin had been installed in NT mode (not by me). Then I burned the sources and tried to compile on my machine, where Cygwin is installed in Unix mode. I had Cygwin reinstalled in Unix mode on the machine I used for downloading and that solved everything. Maybe a note about this problem could be added to the FAQ page named "How do I rebuild the tools on my NT box?" ...

Hi, I had the original problem and solved it but forgot to share it with the list. My problem was caused because I used wincvs to checkout the cygwin sources because I had some problem (don't remeber what) with cygwin's cvs. Because wincvs is running on NT it performs the LF -> CR/LF on text files and the file ends up with the extra ^M. Checking out the sources under cygwin solved the problem. -- Nuno -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
