Folks:
I started by following these instructions:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.building-
cygwin
Which say to check out "what you need" from CVS, linking to these
instructions:
http://cygwin.com/cvs.html
Which say to check out "winsup".
However, it turns out that if you just follow those instructions and
checkout "winsup" then you'll be a very perplexing error message
about __assert_func being undefined. This is because, as Brian
Dessent kindly explained to me, you also need to checkout newlib.
So I propose that the cvs.html page instruct people to checkout both
"winsup" and "newlib".
Unfortunately now that I have "winsup" and "newlib", then I get
another error:
-------
In file included from /c/playground/cygwin/src/newlib/libc/include/
dirent.h:6,
from ../../../../../src/newlib/libc/posix/execvp.c:9:
/c/playground/cygwin/src/newlib/libc/include/sys/dirent.h:10:2:
#error "<dirent.h> not supported"
-------
Could someone give me a hint as to what other steps are necessary to
build cygwin using itself?
Thanks!
Regards,
Zooko
