Hi Dick. Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, however, and attempted the make again, and got the same error. The scripts/basic directory contains a fixdep.exe after the make is run. There is no fixdep file. I tried renaming the fixdep.exe to fixdep, but that also resulted in the same make error. Any further suggestions? Thx, Chris.

Re: Building the kernel with Cygwin
Hi Dick. Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, however, and attempted the make again, and got the same error. The scripts/basic directory contains a fixdep.exe after the make is run. There is no fixdep file. I tried renaming the fixdep.exe to fixdep, but that also resulted in the same make error. Any further suggestions? Thx, Chris.

I don't know how well cygwin emulates a Unix environment, but maybe you can use an alias??? .. Like... alias fixdep='fixdep.exe' If that doesn't work, you will probably find other problems also, like the *.o files become *.obj, etc. It might be a lost cause. If it was my system, I'd get another hard-disk, have a regular distribution install Linux on it, and set up to dual-boot.
