Re:FW: Can't build Insight with Cygwin

Hi,

I think you can use the patch command (http://www.gnu.org/software/patch/patch.html) with the .diff file, I have made it manually : you only have to open the three files listed ("RCS file:") in the .diff file, and replace the - lines by the + lines at the corresponding patterns.
I have tested to build on another config (with the same cygwin version : 1.5.18(0.132/4/2), and the same sources), and it seems to crash still ...

Good luck.
