Thanks for the prompt reply Michael. If I can find some time tomorrow, I'll install subversion. If it's not a dumb question - once I've used it to download libjack & libsndfile, what will I need in order to build them? Make? Scons? Or does Cygwin use its own build projects? I'm quite new to Cygwin so I'm still finding my way around with it.
