Hey Ben!   
      
   I am taking the liberty of combining you replies into one.  This makes   
   it easier for me if you don't mind.   
      
    BR> Aborted due to compilation errors   
      
   I saw in a later message which has yet to arrive here that it turned   
   out to be a typo.  Now that we have the idea that our totally different   
   systems are in sync I think it might be best if I post future scripts   
   on the publically accessable ftp site here.  Check this out and see   
   if that works for you;   
      
     wget ftp://70.66.0.181:15243/fido/husky-stable.sh   
      
   Don't take the above script as gospel since it is based on earlier   
   versions but I just want to make sure that if I put scripts there then   
   it'll make it easier for you to do edits and we can discuss them in   
   this echo if it works out better for you.  Offhand I am guessing it   
   might be the best approach and I can create a tuxpower directory on   
   there exclusively for this purpose.   
      
   If you agree then I'll edit the script for what I am guesstimating   
   to be a native cygwin build of the source in question.  Either that   
   of feel free to follow the logic of husky-stable.sh and see if you   
   can apply it yourself.  I am easy on this subject.   
      
    BR> I output them to tar.gz and it worked fine   
      
   Excellent.  Now that I know it'll make it MUCH easier since tar.gz -   
   as well as tar.bz2 and tar.xz - are what I am used to and would have   
   probably made many 'typos' in the future regarding tgz etc.   
      
    BR> the usual configure, make, install, make clean, etc.   
      
   Not quite.  There is no configure in this case.  The rest work   
   including the DESTDIR idea except that for a first time install   
   you'll need to do a straight 'make install' to all of the packages   
   other than hpt since you lack the needed dependencies at the moment.   
   See what you can decipher from husky-stable.sh first.  I the case   
   of huskymak.cfg you'll need to copy the appropriate huskymak.cfg for   
   cygwin instead from the huskybse tarball to the root build directory   
   of your choosing.  If you read any of the README's in any of the   
   source tarball's it should say something to this effect.   
      
   Let me know about the ftp idea.  Offhand I think it is a good plan.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
