Download the DLL sources from there.

The value of "cygdrive prefix" is used for drives which do not have corresponding mount table entries. That means if you want to access the foo directory on your q: drive you use: /cygdrive/q/foo cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
