RE: RE: cygwin.def - site.cygwin


You were right!!
Using the WinCvs I didn't select the Unix format before to download the xfree86 from the CVS
repository and then ...problems..

Now I have the right format and tried to compile but obtained errors.
I reported the log file zipped.

Could you help me again?
