There should be appropriate configury bits there as well... I had a look on the sourceware for the new cygwin sources. I found lots of snapshots around 4MB in size. I built my cygwin cross compiler following Mumit Khan's howto. It said to download the Cygwin dev sources which are around 27MB in size. I thought I needed an update of this but there is only one on sourceware and it is quite old (the same one that I have already got). What is the difference between the dev sources and the other snapshot soureces ? Which ones do I need to build an up to date cygwin package on a Linux host ? I want to be able to build the latest Insight code. Are there any other pacages I need. I don't really want to build on a Win32 box, but would like to know if any extra packages are required to do this (just incase I get real desperate). Thanks, Brendan Simon.
