I have made a patch for this, and provide instructions on the required configuration of Cygwin (including a small change needed to the Cygwin CVS implementation to avoid case-insensitivity filename clash problems) on my web site at: http://www.bluedonkey.org/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/Netbsd/CygwinBuild I will also file a change request problem report, with the patch pasted into it, so that this information is recorded somewhere. The speed of the build, at least on my XP box, is not great, but it does work. I have managed to build everything all the way through to generating a RAM disk root file system based kernel for the ibmnws box, and that boots successfully. Any comments, questions, or problems using these changes please let me know. I will try my best to help out with any fixes - I've probably seen most of the errors that are likely to crop up now ;-) Rgds, John... ===== Rate Corporate America at http://exec-ratings.bluedonkey.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
