Re: Creating superuser (root) in Cygwin

Ok, ok. Those who know more than I do. Today. I'm trying to compile and install kalarm, which I have downloaded and decompressed. Now the instructions go as follows:

   cd kalarm-1.1.6
   ./configure
   make
   [ Log in as root ]   <- !!! HOW !!!
   cd /path/kalarm-1.1.6
   make install

My question is. How does a Cygwin user (without a root account) get round this kidda problem?

Please resist the urge to flame. (Some of us are just new, that's all.)

Thanks,

- Olumide -
