The chicken. Wait no, the egg.

How do you compile >from scratch? These are package installation dependencies. If you're trying to build the Cygwin DLL, visit <http://cygwin.com/contrib.html> for info. If you're trying to build some other package, its configure script will tell you the libraries it depends on. You can then go looking in <http://cygwin.com/packages/> to find the packages you need to install if you don't already have them. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
