To successfully build setup.exe, after downloading the files via: $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/cygwin-apps co setup
two additional packages are required. These packages are bison and flex. I made a patch to the README. $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/cygwin-apps diff -uN >patch.20070922 and the patch is included below.
