From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: John Zheng To: Corinna Vinschen Cc: cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Re: compiling file 3.26 Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 13:37:00 -0000 Message-id: In-reply-to: < 36E2D7B7.CB124407@cityweb.de > References: <36E2D7B7.CB124407@cityweb.de> X-SW-Source: 1999-03/msg00184.html Okay, I've figured it out now... First, it should be clarified on the GNUWin32.txt page that the file3.26-patch file is found at ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Vinschen_Corinna/B20 and not at ftp.astron.com/pub/file. Perhaps just a general note up top that patch files done by Corinna are found at ftp.franken.de. Also, I had problems applying the patch because in the original source files were translated to in the file3.26-patch file, and a couple extra line feeds were added. I've attached a modified file3.26-patch file that works. One more question. When I compile file.exe, my resulting file.exe ends up being 382,463 bytes. The version you have on your ftp server is only 23,552 bytes. How do you get the compile to make it so small?
