As I see it now, building my own packages on cygwin needs knowledge about UNIX program development that I don't have (yet). Thus, I might be better off living with pre-built binaries for now. >Or, go to >http://sourceware.cygnus.com/autoconf/ and get the latest ones from >CVS (look for cvsweb on the page and click on it, and the get >config.guess and config.sub). I don't have a clue about autoconf and automake: From the comments in the files I see that config.guess and config.sub are not package dependent, right? >Pre-built gmp-2.0.2 (you did search the mail archives, right?): Obviously, I did not search deeply enough. However, I usually tend to try building software I use myself (since I believe this is how one learns about a system), but I don't seem to be good enough to get a firm grasp of cygwin. Btw, is there any way to download the user's guide as a big HTML file or a tarball? Reading it all online can be expensive and uncomfortable.
