There is a Cygwin Users Guide. It is intended to tell you how to run Cygwin. The Cygwin Users Guide is what is unambiguously referred to in the squid wiki/FAQ. The documentation for any specific package will be included in the package itself. As has already been mentioned, the documentation for squid is in usr/share/doc/squid-2.6.STABLE17 and Cygwin notes are in usr/share/doc/Cygwin/squid-2.6.STABLE17.README. >My original intention was not to start a mailing list war among users, >only discover how to compile, setup, and use the a cygwin squid >server. I don't think it is clear to anyone why you are compiling squid when there is already a binary available for installation. However, build instructions are included in usr/share/doc/Cygwin/squid-2.6.STABLE17.README. Since you apparently can't build the package even given the above instructions, I'd suggest sticking with the binary package rather than trying to build your own. If that doesn't work for some reason then I'd also suggest patiently waiting until after the holidays for potential help for the new squid mainatiner. Oh, and also, even though I suspect that this will fall on angrily deaf ears at this point, you might also want to read http://cygwin.com/problems.html paying particular attentions to the first four paragraphs at that page. My reason for suggesting this is that your initial question misled a few of us as to what you were asking for and your subsequent messages aren't providing many more details. cgf -- 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/
