Compilation of the source, and aquisition of binaries

[Suhaib Siddiqi]

Your download software is corrupting it.  The archives are perfectly Ok,
downloaded by 100s of users and extract just fine.  The only "toy" you need
is a better download software.  In case you are using Netscape, which is
known to create problems with bz2
archives" try adding bz2 in Preferences...

1) Is there a ftp site that has an un-damaged archive of the binaries?

2) Why is it that only about 10% of the entire source is compiled?

There is 70MB of code there, but on 7MB of files are produced, not even the
XServer is built.

I have modified the site.def to use the cygwin-site.def.  Something is just
a miss here.

Basically put, I end up with the exact same result as I would if I
downloaded teh X11R6.4 source from ftp.x.org.

Is there other "toys" required that are not listed.
