As I tell my programmers, `I know one way how you can find out' ;-) > Back to my original question (building entire cygwin suite from source): Umm, what we're talking here is not building the packages that are provided with Cygwin, but rather the support programs that enable Cygwin to do its thing. For example, cygwin1.dll To compile/build the other stuff, you'll need to download the package sources and follow the build instructions for each package.
