Well, that would be the problem. Do you have a "Cygwin" program as the result?
You should follow the instructions for build on UNIX on for VC++ or Borland.
All you should need to do is
tar -zxvf mypkg-foo.tar.gz
cd mypkg-foo
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/where/you/want/to/install
make
make check
make install
I typically use --prefix=/usr if I'm replacing a supplied utility after I've
made the proper backups.
Anybody interested in the stow package?
Regards,
