Interim source package compilation instructions

[Harold L Hunt II <harold at codeweavers dot com>]

Here are some interim instructions for building the source packages 
until I update the Contributor's Guide (verified to work by a friend on 
another Cygwin install):

1) At the top of the following page is a list of packages that are
required for compiling Cygwin/X.  I recommend putting setup.exe in
"Full" view and just scanning the lists next two each other... it should
only take a few seconds to pick all of the packages... if it takes
longer you are trying too hard.

2) Next, you need to grab the source packages via setup.exe for the
following  (click the blank box in the "src" column for each of these
packages, it should turn to either a cross or an na (yes, that is dumb,
but that it what it does)).:

XFree86-base
XFree86-bin
XFree86-fenc
XFree86-fnts
XFree86-fscl
XFree86-man
XFree86-prog
XFree86-xserv

3) Cut and paste the following little ditty into a Cygwin bash shell. It
should finish in around than two hours, maybe more if you are slower
than an Athlon 1.2 GHz/512 MB RAM/7200 RPM HD.  After about 5 to 15
minutes you should see a file called /usr/src/build.log get created and
it will grow to about 3.4 MB before it is done.  Then
/usr/src/install.log will get created and will grow to about 1.3 MB
before it is done.  Then you will see lots of output in the console and
the final result should be less than 30 minutes away and should look
like a tar command ending (because it is).

cd /usr/src && \
cp xc/CYGWIN-PATCHES/XFree86-4.3.0.sh . && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh mkdirs && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh conf && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh build > build.log 2>&1 && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh install > install.log 2>&1 && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh strip && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh pkg && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh spkg

4) If you want to perform a clean rebuild, just run the following
command first before repeating step #3.  Beware that removing thousands
of files on my machine takes between 5 and 25 minutes (it varies for
some reason) and could take up to an hour if the Windows machine is
particularly slow.  Of course, Linux with ResierFS completes this
operation immediately.

cd /usr/src && \
./XFree86-4.3.0.sh quickclean
