Building cygwin from source and file dependencies


When you build cygwin from source (release or snapshot) following
instructions, dependencies are no generated (I do not know GNU make good
enough; I know that winsup/cygwin/Makefile is supposed to always add
dependency generation; it does not, at least when building from top-level).
This means, that every time any *.h file is changed I am forced to do make
clean. Not really handy.

I build cygwin by

- untarring in source directory - cygwin-1.1.5-4/et al
- creating empty dir /tools/build/cygwin-1.1.5-4; cd thereinto
- /tools/src/cygwin-1.1.5-4/configure --prefix=/usr
- make

-andrej

Have a nice DOS!

P.S. Full build takes about 45 min. here. Sigh ...
