hi folks, I am trying to build the latest apr from cvs on windows and the

I get this:

did I do something wrong or are the dsp and dsw files broken?
You used a version of cvs (probably from cygwin) that checked out those 
files with Unix (\n) line endings instead of DOS (\r\n) line endings. 
Msdev is very particular about line endings in project files.

You'r best bet is using the cvs binary available on http://cvshome.org, 
which does line conversions correctly.

(Mounting your sandbox in text mode under cygwin might work, ymmv)

I have cygwin on this box also will this work?
Thanks,
Brian
