Missed a command in step (2), let me try again
This is what I do, especially when I'm behind a firewall and
can't get out on the cvs port.
(1) I get the latest snapshot via ftp from a cygwin mirror site
and put it in the \cygwin directory
(2) I bring up a cygwin window and do:
cd /
rm -Rf src
rm -Rf obj
mkdir src
mkdir obj
cd src
tar jzvf ../cygwin-src-yyyymmdd.tar.bz2
(3) cd /obj
/src/configure --prefix=/tmp/cygwin && make && make install
and exit the cygwin window
(4) from a windows command prompt I then do
copy \cygwin\tmp\cygwin\bin\* \cygwin\bin\*
(5) Fire up a new cygwin window and run `cygcheck -s' to verify
the snapshot level and build date (which is near the bottom
of the display).
If there are patches that I want, then I can usually save them
from an attachment in a cygwin or cygwin-patches post, usually
in my \cygwin directory. Usually the patches hit src/winsup/cygwin.
So, before step (3) I do
cd /src/winsup/cygwin
patch < /whatever.patch
