You keep mentioning this as if you're expecting a response which will provide you with pinpoint instructions to deal with your situation without the requirement of providing little things like error messages. "Non-starter" is not a bug report. We do have a FAQ about building Cygwin so if it is not complete then what you *should* be doing is offering suggestions about what is missing rather than just repeated fact-free "I can't build it" complaintes here. 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
