For that you need a cross-compiler (about which I know nothing). Or are you trying to compile Windows binaries of POSIX code that is often found on Linux systems? In which case, you want to do something like this. $ tar -xvf package-ver.tar.gz $ cd package-ver $ ./configure $ make $ make install > It doesn't recognize the command su, See the FAQ: Why doesn't su work? http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.su > I'm confronted with this: > bash-3.2$ _ > and it doesn't begin with x AT x You are getting bash's default prompt. See=20 $ man bash for how and where to customize your prompt. (Though Gary Johnson's advice about using a login shell may address the issue.) I hope this helps. - Barry -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
