Subject: Re: SN4.5.2: problems compiling it using cygwin

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.
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
