The problem was actually in compiling lib/makepath.c. I manually compiled it adding the -DHAVE_ERRNO_H definition argument as below. cd /usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib gcc -DHAVE_ERRNO_H -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I. -g -O2 -c makepath.c Next I relinked the entire package and got a valid pax.exe which I subsequently moved to /usr/local/bin and that was it. cd /usr/src/paxutils-2.4h make mv src/pax.exe /usr/local/bin/ I don't understand the Makefile's well enough to automate this but if anyone else wants to give it a shot, have at it. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
