RE: RE: cygwin.def - site.cygwin

[<daniele dot disco at virgilio dot it>]

Hi Suhaib,
I'm a bit confused.
When I asked if to compile the source code (Xfree 4.0.2) downloaded 
from the CVS was necessary do samethimg before, you said me:
     "in copy config/cf/site.cygwin 
      to site.def and host.cygwin to
      host.cygwin you
      should be pretty much set.  
      make World ".

This is different from the last your answer
    " touch ..."

I removed the log file but if you want I can redo the make World and
send you the log.

In any case thanks for your help
