By the way, when I try to build it says Automake 1.10a is required. However, this version isn't an option under cygwin, only 1.10.3, 1.10.2, etc. How do I fixed this, hack configure.ac?

First you get the cygwin-src package. Unpack it and run cygport on the coreutils-7.0-2.cygport file with download option. This downloads the original gnu package and applies the two patch files. coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch and coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch. I assume the second patch is for cygwin specific files that aren't present in the orginal gnu package -- is this correct? Then you continue with cygport coreutils-7.0-2.cygport prep ... etc Am I missing anything? -----Original Message----- From: neil.mowb...@calgacus.com [mailto:neil.mowb...@calgacus.com] Sent: 03 January 2010 13:55 To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Building core cygwin packages which only come with patch files over gnu.org packages Folks, Of course I can try to figure it out myself, but I wonder if anyone can give me a quick pointer on how to build core cygwin packages which only provide patch files over the orginal GNU source. For eample coreutils-7.0-2-src.tar.bz contains: coreutils-7.0-2.cygport coreutils-7.0-2.cygport.sig coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch.sig coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch.sig coreutils-7.0.tar.lzma coreutils-7.0.tar.lzma.sig I got the coreutils-8.2.tar.gz for gnu.org and I assume I apply to stuff above to it. But how is that done? There isn't a makefile. Is it done manually? I assume they is a automated method but it isn't obvious what it is.
