I thought I'd mention a few issues about the compile process in case people have suggestions for better ways to do things. 1. The latest on crypto-publish.org is krb5-1.2.6. It would be nice to get the security patches for the more recent versions. 2. Cygwin doesn't have a resolv library. There is a cutback resolver which doesn't interface to the win2k DNS cache. It is minires from Pierre Humblett at ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/V1 .1 - make install doesn't install everything, you have to do some manual install from the README. 3. ./configure --with-cc=gcc --without-krb4 --disable-dns-for-kdc AD doesn't support krb4. I disable dns for kdc because minires doesn't support res_search. 4. Add #include to src/util/ss/ss_internal.h, otherwise the linker gives _errno errors. 5. The current cygwin ships with bison 1.875 but that failed to compile gssftpd/ftpcmd.y. I compiled and installed bison 1.28 (as on my redhat system) and all went well. Krb5 then compiles OK. I haven't tried to run anything yet. Is this the best way to proceed? I know that heimdal works for cygwin and I only want the client stuff so maybe I should be using that instead. Actually I'm mostly only interested in 2 kerberos clients: kerberized ssh and kx509. Thanks for any help.
