Re: CYGWIN1.DLL


I just downloaded "cygwin-1.3.2-1-src.tar.gz" and the winsup/cinstall/
directory is not there.

Because it has to be able to install cygwin1.dll, setup.exe does not use
cygwin1.dll.  Its source is available in the winsup/cinstall/ directory in
CVS.  Follow the "Contributing" link at http://cygwin.com to see how to get
it.  Read the entire page a couple times before you try anything.  There is
no "setup.cc" if that is what you are looking for; the entire
winsup/cinstall/ directory is used to build setup.exe.
