RE: Problem compiling cygwin1.dll from CVS

[Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha at cs dot nyu dot edu>]

By "exactly the same build problem" I assume you mean a parse error in
line 4 of cygwin.def?  Could you please attach (*not* include inline) your
generated cygwin.def, the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your system, the
exact flags you're passing to "configure", and the exact command that
fails?
