Yann, The cygwin source tarballs are mostly for reference. They are really not designed to be compiled OOTB. Your best bet is to compile out of CVS. However, if you really need to use a source tarball, here's a way I compiled from source tarballs in the past: You'll need to install the source of the corresponding version of the w32api package. You'll then need to make a symlink in the winsup subdirectory of the cygwin source: $ cd /usr/src/cygwin-VERSION/winsup && ln -s ../../w32api-VERSION ./w32api After that, read <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC103> for instructions on how to build the dll (I used a 'build' subdirectory under the source directory instead of '/obj'). Hope this helps.
