Hello Max,
Hi, but please keep discussion on the mailing list. I'm copying this to cygwin-apps, please reply to there.
I'm trying to compile Cygwin setup using setup-2.427-1-src.tar.bz2,
Why? That's an old version.
the source tarball that came with the latest Cygwin. The file RECTwrapper.h (and maybe others) are missing from that tarball.
Known bug, already fixed.
Where can I get it?
Don't - instead just use a later version.
Bear in mind I have a bare-bones Cygwin, no gcc, no make, no cvs, none of that. I barely have bash. If you could send me a complete, self-contained tarball, or direct me to somewhere I can get one, I'll hack the source to work with Visual Studio 03 and try and trace down this error.
I expect you would have an easier time doing a simple standard install of Cygwin (avoiding whatever special arrangement of local packages triggers the bug for you).
The setup website is at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/
Max.
