ok thanks, but what your saying is that still up to date ?
I mean configure generated a subdirectory .\i686-pc-cygwin, and make put 
all the object files and build under that


and whats the cygwin0.dll ???

oh, i've now noticed a file   winsup\cygwin\new-cygwin1.dll,

I GUESS this should be copied to /bin/cygwin1.dll.

too much guesswork.......


though my make check isn't successfull,

Huh?  No /etc/fstab file in \??\C:\cygwin\usr\local\etc\fstab.d\admin?  
Using de
fault root and cygdrive prefix...
cc1: ../../.././winsup/testsuite/libltp/lib/dataascii.c: No such file or 
directo
ry
make: *** [dataascii.o] Error 1

my /etc doesn't have an fstab file,  shouldn't the cygwin setup have 
done that?


admin@FRED4 ~/src/cygwin-snapshot-20081214-1/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/testsuite
$ mount
