The only supported way of building coreutils for cygwin is by using setup.exe to download the sources and several prerequisite tools (cygport, autoconf, ...), then using 'cygport coreutils-8.5-1 prep make'. Other ways work, but I won't support them on this list. See also /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/coreutils.README. > > copy.c complaints an error of an undefined reference ot > 'cygwin_spelling'. Guess that is a library I have to install. Sounds like you didn't run autoreconf (which would have been done automatically via the supported mechanism). -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
