Dear all
In order to pinpoint an error I'm trying to compile cygwin1.dll from
source following the instructions here:
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin. However,
when building binutils, I trip over this error:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-02/msg00064.html. According to
DJ (https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-02/msg00067.html),
"attempts to build the old binutils/gdb in CVS are going to be
doomed". Apparently the development of these packages is now tracked
in a separate git repo. So, my question is now, how do I get a working
build for the cygwin DLL? Do I have to replace binutils/gdb in the CVS
checkout with the git checkout?
How are the current snapshots built?
Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
Michael
