Problem Building cygwin1.dll from January Snapshot

Problem Building cygwin1.dll from January Snapshot

[Todd Goodman]

In an effort to get a version of cygwin1.dll that can be
redistributed with a GPLed program (including the source
of course) I've run into problems building.

I grabbed the cygwin-src-19990115_tar.gz tarball and
untarred it.  I ran configure in the toplevel and found
that it didn't seem to actually run configure in the winsup,
libiberty, and newlib directories so I went there and ran
configure.

When building everything builds fine until it needs libc.a
from libiberty.  I made sure it's built, but it seems to
not have been symlinked into the directory it expects it in.

I tried searching the archives but didn't find anything.

I've also tried looking on the web site but I must be missing
something.

Are there instructions for building cygwin1.dll or is it a
case of "If you can't figure it out, you shouldn't be doing
it?"

I'll continue to look into it, but would appreciate any
information if someone else has run into this or has tips
on building cygwin1.dll.

Thank you,

Todd Goodman
