Even though Cygwin isn't the proper build environment for coLinux anymore, it's can still be useful for other purposes and these were some of the best directions around to setup this environment, so I've updated them to use current versions. First, choose an installation directory, for example: /usr/local/cygwin. I'd refer to that directory as $PREFIX from this point in the document. You'll also need a temporary directory to execute this procedure (e.g. /tmp/cygbuild). cygwin-1.7.7-1.tar.bz2 w32api-3.15-1.tar.bz2 libiconv-1.13.1-2.tar.bz2 MassTranslated on 25 Dec 2004.
