FAQ on installing a build from source ?

[fred]

I assume  $make install

ok? but something gone wrong,
so manually what is supposed to get copied where ?

dir \i686-pc-cygwin\winsup\cygwin
has a cygwin0.dll,

I thought there is supposed to be a cygwin1.dll.................

I thought surely there is a FAQ on this ? haven;t found it though

Thanks

So you missed this

<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin>

from here

> FAQ:                   http://cygwin.com/faq/

?

My WAG is that you're building in the source directory which, as the FAQ
says, is a no-no.

ok thanks, but what your saying is that still up to date ?
I mean configure generated a subdirectory .\i686-pc-cygwin, and make put 
all the object files and build under that


and whats the cygwin0.dll ???

oh, i've now noticed a file   winsup\cygwin\new-cygwin1.dll,

I GUESS this should be copied to /bin/cygwin1.dll.

too much guesswork.......


though my make check isn't successfull,

Huh?  No /etc/fstab file in \??\C:\cygwin\usr\local\etc\fstab.d\admin?  
Using de
fault root and cygdrive prefix...
cc1: ../../.././winsup/testsuite/libltp/lib/dataascii.c: No such file or

my /etc doesn't have an fstab file,  shouldn't the cygwin setup have 
done that?

Yes.

Sorry, I don't grok the above.

That's what you built.  It's used for testing/debugging since you need
2 DLLs in these situations.

Yep.

If you say so.

Yes if you installed Cygwin 1.7:

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00225.html>

If you installed 1.5, then no.  Remember, snapshots are always the current
development version and in this case, there are allot of differences (by
design) between 1.5 and 1.7.

Same as above.

In particular what you find if you go to the FAQ and search for "build"
twice:

I know I built it, just don't know what to do with it and how it fits in

This is an old cygwin install, but I have been re-running the setup, so
$ uname -v
2008-06-12 19:34

sounds like one must actually uninstall and start again....

Let's stop this loop please.  Two people have pointed you at the build
instructions.  If you read them you will not have to worry about where
cygwin0.dll fits in.  Specifically, you install the DLL using "make
install" and that should make things clear.

If you have specific questions about "make install" please send them.
Otherwise, I don't think there is any reason to keep the loop going.
