I just adapted things such, that it goes through under cygwin if you run
configure and make from the root of the sources. I am not sure if the
original Singular source supports such compiling.
You might want to take a look at lnconf.sh in the packaging templates CVS
(<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/packaging/templates/?cvsroot=cygwin-apps>).
It was intended originally as a configure substitute for packages that
don't have one, but you could also run it before configure to replicate
the directory structure in the target directory before running configure.
HTH,
Also, take a look at the zlib package
http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/release/zlib/zlib-1.2.2-2-src.tar.bz2
It uses shtool for the 'make a symlink-farm to these sources because my
package is too dain-bramaged to build outside srcdir' purpose. (Also,
lndir does the same thing as shtool, and is distributed as a cygwin
package [xorg-x11-bin-lndir-6.8.2.0-1] which is similar).
