Yes, I did. He adapted a different Makefile than I plan to use, so I didn't want to dig to deep into his solution. He uses a big patch for the main makefile. However, bzip2 gives the alternative option to use a second Makefile as addon to the main Makefile. It ships already with Makefile-libbz2_so and Makefile-libbz2_dylib. I want to create something like Makefile-cygbz2. Then I want to anderstand the overall policy for cygwin to be able to port bigger packages. bzip2 is very small. By this it is a good candidate to understand the procedure. Al -- Caution crosser: Runnig Gentoo/Prefix on Cygwin/Vista.
