Actually it looks pretty clear and even mentions that the documentation
won't build without Texi2html and docbook-tools and then shows where to
get them.
One part might be a little unclear (at least for me) is the configure
line:
/src/configure --prefix=/install -v > configure.log 2>&1
where it mentions /install. How does this relate to d:\cygwin or /usr
(ie the install path) where my cygwin is installed. If you'll remember
we had a little discussion going when I was trying to do some things with
the setup program and I got caught in the trap of the /src vs /obj or
/build when I was trying to download the cvs code for winsup and cinstall
and then build my own cinstall. Now there appears to be this /install
and this might need some additional explanation.
