hate to ask- compiling cygwin1.dll

hate to ask- compiling cygwin1.dll

[Peter Buckley]

I hate to ask this to the list, because I am sure it has been asked 
before. But I am getting nowhere searching the mailing list archives, 
and some messages say "find out how to compile the cygwin1.dll at 
http://cygwin.com" ;. I can't seem to find out how to do this in the docs 
or the faq.

Even if someone could suggest some better search terms, it would be a 
big help.

I have all the source, and have extracted the cygwin source tarball, and 
it looks like "./configure" is succeeding. But when I do a make, it 
looks good for awhile and then I get the following error-

make[2]: Entering directory 
'cygdrive/d/petes-path-to-source/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.

There is a symlink to Makefile.in in this directory, and it has an 'all' 
target. Maybe I need to do some other preparatory steps, like copying 
the source to a certain directory (not the default place where I 
extracted it)?

I hope someone could point me in the right direction, even "STMLA again, 
you just need the 142nd match" or "RTM, search for c-o-m-m-p-i-l-e 
instead of compile."

TIA,
Peter

I do believe that in general, you shouldn't compile cygwin.dll
in the source directory.  create a new subdirectory, called, say build,
and then within build, do a ../configure

This isn't a "should", it's a "must".  If you try and so much as run
configure in the source directory, you get an uncompilable mess, even if
you do later try and configure into a separate build directory.

One speaks from experience.  :)
