(http://cygwin.com/cvs.html) I didn't want to install CVS if I don't have to. The cp command is part of the coreutils package. Get the coreutils source package which includes the upstream source plus patches specific to Cygwin. > Will the executable created from the source for "cp" run standalone? Or is it dependant on some of the dll's in the bin directory or something like that? $ cygcheck cp Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe C:/cygwin/bin/cp.exe C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINXP\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\WINXP\System32\ntdll.dll C:\WINXP\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINXP\System32\RPCRT4.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-3.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll So yes, it will require several cygwin DLLs. This is the case with every Cygwin program, so you should not be surprised. If you want standalone programs that are not reliant on the Cygwin environment then you should look elsewhere, like the MinGW project. Common utils like cp and mv have been ported by other projects as standalone programs. Check sourceforge or google.
