As I understood building cygwin I have to checkout the whole winsup dir,
create a
build dir, enter this dir and call configure from the top src dir.
Then I have to call make in the build dir and the whole cygwin will be
compiled.
then I have to install 'libiberty newlib cygwin utils' into a tempory dir (I
have figured out that from the /etc/setup/cygwin.lst.gz) and build a tar or
bz2 archive. Then this could be installed with the setup.exe if setup.ini is
updated with this package after closing all running cygwin apps. Does I have
understood something wrong ?
I have done this with the cygwin 1.3.2-1 source too and there was no error
in this way.

the only detail I have was that this error occures in the kernel32.dll and
that this exception was numbered 6a4.
I have tried to reproduce this error yet, but I can't. Perhaps was this a
side effect of the above problem ???

... otherwise I can't enter any more command in the bash shell because vc
blocks it.

I mean the '&' which I have added to the script, which will not work

If not WHAT IS THE ERROR?  PLEASE!

Of course, but I think the difference of calling "vc xyz" or vc xyz &" is
clear.
To avoid the second sample i have placed the '&' into the script and this
functionality does not work.
