Fair enough. My setup is as follows: Directory cygbuild (in my home dir). cygbuild/src checked out of CVS as per the FAQ. I chose to make my build directory at the same level as src, rather than a subdirectory of it. [The FAQ just says build must not be the same as src, though the example does have it as a subdirectory.] So for my build I did: cd cygbuild/build mkdir /install (../src/configure --prefix=/install -v; make) If I cd to src/winsup/testsuite and do "make check", I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/cygbuild/src/winsup/testsuite $ make check make: *** No rule to make target `check'. Stop. which is hardly surprising, as there is no Makefile there: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/cygbuild/src/winsup/testsuite $ ls CVS ChangeLog Makefile.in README config configure configure.in cygload cygrun.c libltp winsup.api So that seems to be the problem. Should there have been a Makefile in CVS, should configure have made one, or is the FAQ wrong? I'm afraid I don't know enough detail about the way the Cygwin build is set up to answer this myself, but I realise it was a little rash of me to assume it was the FAQ in error. I suppose having build parallel to src rather than a subdirectory could have a bearing - in which case the FAQ should say that build *has* to be immediately under src. Or even possibly that when I ran configure I didn't have dejagnu or cocom installed. -- Cliff -- 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/
