Two people have pointed you at the build instructions. If you read them you will not have to worry about where cygwin0.dll fits in. Specifically, you install the DLL using "make install" and that should make things clear. If you have specific questions about "make install" please send them. Otherwise, I don't think there is any reason to keep the loop going. cgf -- 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/
