I have also built a cygwin hosted powerpc-eabi targeted cross-compiler (this was built on a linux machine following Mumit's howto - thanks). I previously built the linux-cygwin cross-compiler using the dev-cygwin sources. I assume that I don't need the "src-by-top-dir" for this case. > Since you may need termcap, also download the libtermcap.tar.bz2, which > has some modifications to support "cygwin" terminal type. This is the bit that I think I'm missing. Apparently this is part of newer cygwin releases/snapshots which is what I was trying to find, but I got confused between the dev-cygwin sources and other cygwin sources. OK, so I will get the libtermcap.tar.bz2 package and see what happens. BTW. Is this package a cygwin only package or is it a generic package for all posix compliant APIs ?
