Just as reference for others - I now did it this way: 1. Install Cygwin 2004-06-24, start bash 2. Unpack the Cygwin core source package: tar xvjf /cygdrive/e/release/cygwin/cygwin-1.5.10-3-src.tar.bz2 3. Apply the needed patch (from http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2004-q3/msg00039.html): cd cygwin-1.5.10-3/winsup/cygwin && patch -p0 < /path/to/root.diff 4. It's necessary to build Cygwin in an extra path, so create one and change to it: cd ../../.. && mkdir obj && cd obj 5. To avoid Cygwin to overwrite the files of your make environment, an install prefix is used: ../cygwin-1.5.10-3/configure --prefix=/fake/usr --sysconfdir=/fake/etc \ --libexecdir=/fake/usr/sbin --localstatedir=/fake/var \ --datadir=/fake/usr/share --mandir=/fake/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/fake/usr/share/info 6. Build and install the new Cygwin to the install prefix path given above: make && make install 7. Remove debug symbols from all executables: cd /fake && find . -type f -exec strip {} \; 8. Correct some file locations: mv usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/* usr/bin/ mv usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib/* usr/lib/ rm -rf usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib usr/etc mv usr/i686-pc-cygwin/* usr/ 9. Create the w32api package: tar cjf w32api-20040624-1.tar.bz2 usr/include/w32api usr/lib/w32api 10. Remove the files which belong to the w32api package from our tree: rm -rf /fake/usr/include/w32api /fake/usr/lib/w32api 11. Create the mingw-runtime package: tar cjf mingw-runtime-20040624-1.tar.bz2 usr/bin/mingwm10.dll \ usr/doc/mingw-runtime usr/include/mingw usr/lib/mingw 12. Remove the files which belong to the w32api package from our tree: rm -rf /fake/usr/bin/mingwm10.dll /fake/usr/doc/mingw-runtime \ /fake/usr/include/mingw /fake/usr/lib/mingw 13. Remove files which are distributed with other packages (but are included in the cygwin source package for boot-strapping) or should not be distributed at all: rm -rf /fake/usr/include/iconv.h # comes also with libiconv rm -rf /fake/usr/include/unctrl.h # comes also with libncurses-devel rm -rf /fake/usr/share/info/configure.info-1 # auto-created by info tool rm -rf /fake/usr/lib/libiberty.a # comes also with binutils 14. Three files were not built and would need extra effort (i.e. compiling other libraries be-fore the Cygwin package). Take them from the already installed Cygwin distribution: cp /usr/bin/dumper.exe usr/bin/ cp /usr/share/info/libc.info usr/share/info/ cp /usr/share/info/libm.info usr/share/info/ 15. Finally, the cygwin package itself can be created: tar cjf cygwin-20040624-1.tar.bz2 etc/ usr/ 16. Now, the created packages can be moved to the Cygwin installation CD-ROM to release/cygwin/, release/mingw-runtime/ and release/w32api/ and the file names, sizes and md5sums in setup.ini modified accordingly so that setup.exe will in-stall the new core packages in the future.
