./configure, make anyway. You don't want to do make install. (Or at least, not into your running system). > newlib.stdlib ..working in > atexit.c ..linked > atexit.exp ..linked > newlib.string ..working in > string.exp ..linked > tstring.c ..linked > loading cache ../config.cache > configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in .. ./.. > make: *** [configure-target-newlib] Error 1 Don't build within the source dir. It doesn't seem to work properly. mkdir buildcyg && cd buildcyg && ../cygwin-1.x.xx-x/configure > make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/include/w32api' > make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop. > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/include/w32api' You actually need to untar the mingw-runtime source to winsup/mingw, and the w32api source to winsup/w32api. It is supposed to work with the installed versions, but that support is broken at least in 1.3.x. A fix went in before 1.5.0, but hasn't been extensively tested.
