Hello. I've been searching through Google, reading everything I can and rigorously searched through the mailing lists for information about setting up a toolchain for Cygwin on Linux.
In http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00138.html, Brian Dessent says: "For $deity's sake just use a sysroot; the Cygwin binary package conveniently provides everything necessary in one simple wget-able tarball that unpacks to the perfect directory structure. There's even a step by step tutorial on the website." I have not been able to find said step by step tutorial on the website, however I did download the http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin-inst-20090724.tar.bz2, which I assume is the binary tarball being discussed. I installed w32api into the sysroot as discussed further in that thread I linked to, and libiconv. I've attempted to compile cygwin-src-20090724.tar.bz2 but that failed. I had used --host=i686-pc-linux --target=i686-pc-cygwin. Would I be able to get definitive instructions on setting up a successful Cygwin toolchain?
