Hi!
I have downloaded and extracted the 4.5.2-Source and tried to compile
it using cygwin unter Win98, but it failed:
$ ./configure
Configuring for a i586-pc-cygwin32 host.
*** Cannot configure in source tree.
*** Make a parallel directory and configure there.
I am not experienced with building Unix-software (with
configure-Scripts), so I have no idea, how to remove this "source
tree"-attribute. Any ideas?
Regards
Kai Denker

The error message is correct: you can't run `configure' in the source
tree. You need to create a separate tree for object code:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ /path/to/src/configure

You have two options:
1. Download the binary.
Or read on:

This is an old version of cygwin. You need to upgrade. Also, we only support
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 as the compiler. When you have the net release of
cygwin (available via http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin ), and MSVC C++ 5.0, you
can then attempt to build Source-Navigator on Windows.
I would recommend building it on Windows only if you plan on hacking and giving
us patches.

What this means is that you need to build and install in separate directories
from the source tree. After you unpack the source, you will get a directory
called SN452-src. You want to create another directory at the same level, so
that you have:
bash-2.01% ls
SN452-src
SN452-build
Then, cd SN452-build. Type the following command line:
CC=cl CFLAGS="-0d -Z7" ../SN452-src/configure
make all-snavigator
make install-snavigator
We hope to have support for gcc done by the end of the year.
