Re: Debug version of cygwin dll

[Peter Buckley <peter dot buckley at cportcorp dot com>]

You need to bunzip2 and untar the src, then cd to 
/usr/src/cygwin-1.3.5-3 (or wherever you extracted it to) and do the 
following:

mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
make install

Also, I don't know if you need to manually export CFLAGS=-g, just don't 
strip the dll after you build it. IIRC when you build anything it has 
the debug info included, but the binaries are shipped stripped :-)

Another thing- if you plan on debugging another cygwin1.dll with this 
debug version of the cygwin1.dll, search for "running independent 
site:cygwin.com" on google, there is an excellent discussion (don't try 
this at home kids) about running two independent cygwin1.dll's.

HTH,
Peter
