I had a look on the sourceware for the new cygwin sources. I found lots
of snapshots around 4MB in size. I built my cygwin cross compiler
following Mumit Khan's howto. It said to download the Cygwin dev
sources which are around 27MB in size. I thought I needed an update of
this but there is only one on sourceware and it is quite old (the same
one that I have already got). What is the difference between the dev
sources and the other snapshot soureces ? Which ones do I need to build
an up to date cygwin package on a Linux host ? I want to be able to
build the latest Insight code. Are there any other pacages I need. I
don't really want to build on a Win32 box, but would like to know if any
extra packages are required to do this (just incase I get real
desperate).
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
