At the risk of annoying the open source zealots among us, I have to ask: Why? There is no need to build "winsup" when you're trying to build some other package. That is definitely not a prerequiste. All of the files that you need to build packages are already part of the cygwin release. You can't avoid downloading them if you have a working cygwin installation. >I havent gotten to openswan yet. Not sure if that helps to look for >the root of the issue. Actually, no, it just confuses things. The problems that you're seeing are likely do to some bad decisions that are being made in the openswan code. You don't need cygwin source code to deal with that. cgf -- 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
