We can guide you through that.

Just expand the cygwin source tree in one directory.

create a work directory, lets say "build" and cd there.

Run "../configure"

And after "make -w"

You should have a "newcygwin1_dll" or something similar (I forgot) in the winsup directory.  It is compiled with
debugger symbols by default.


When you get to this point, e-mail me and we can continue from there.

Thanks for attempting this.

Fernando
