building XFree86 from cvs

[Harold Leatherman Hunt II]

Well, I can't offer any help because I have no idea what you are doing.  In
order for me to help, or for me to even investigate this problem any further,
you are going to have to follow, exactly, the instructions for compiling that
are in the Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide
(http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/).  You will then have to be very clear
about whether you are cross compiling or whether you are building on Cygwin,
and you will have to tell me the precise step in the Contributor's Guide
instructions that you start to have problems at.  You will also have to send in
your World.log file (which will be generated if you follow the CG
instructions).

I simply cannot spend time debugging each developers command-sequence that they
use for building.  You've got to stick to the prescribed sequence in order to
get help from me.

Until then,

Harold
