Difficulty with Cynwin 1.1.8

[Arek (James Potts)]

First things first.  You need to remount everything as binary...You can do
this either by re-running setup and choosing binary as textfile type, or you
can re-mount the stuff by hand.  Here's how you re-mount everything by hand:

$ mount -b c:\\cygwin /
$ mount -b c:\\cygwin\\lib /usr/lib
$ mount -b c:\\cygwin\\bin /usr/bin
$ umount --remove-system-mounts
$ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin /
$ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin\\lib /usr/lib
$ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin\\bin /usr/bin
$ umount --remove-user-mounts

You will probably get warnings during this process.  These can be safely
ignored.
Once you've got everything re-mounted as binary, you need to compile and
install XFree86.  To do that, do the following:

jimmie@JIMMIE ~/xc
$ make World
$ make install

Note that I did NOT use 'make World.Win32'.  That commandline is for MSVC++,
not cygwin.

I hope this helps
