Remembering I meant to check the FAQ for any extra instructions on building a debug Cygwin I checked there but still didn't find any clue. I did though trying a few more options in google find this message from Corinna in the archive from Feb (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-02/msg00340.html) and tried its simple instructions:
"Building cygwin from CVS requires gcc, a spare build directory (don't build in the source dir), and the deep knowledge how to get rid of the optimizer flag when building. It boils down to Read http://cygwin.com/cvs.html [...] $ cvs co winsup $ mkdir ../build $ cd ../build $ ../src/configure $ make CFLAGS=-g CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-g Stop all Cygwin processes Replace /bin/cygwin1.dll with new-cygwin1.dll from your build dir. Copy cygwin1.dbg from the build dir to /bin. Start debugging." I still get the same error when building. I have built before so I am not sure what I have run into this time that seems to be stopping me. bk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
