1. WinNT compiling: ongoing

   Jeff MacDonald <jeff@pgsql.com> <jeffm@pgsql.com> — 2000-02-02T14:02:15Z

   Ok, i've managed to get all the files i need, dandy.
   
   * side note, i am aware that there is a pre-compiled
   binary on hub. i'm doing this to see how well kevins
   instructions work for every one. (from scratch)
   
   lets start here , first 3 steps
   1.Download  ftp://go.cygnus.com/pub/sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/latest/full.exe
   
   done.
   
   2. Run full.exe and install in c:\Unix\Root directory. 
   
   afaik this means i should have a c:\Unix\Root\Cygwin 
   dir ? 
   
   3.Run Cygwin, and then  run "mount c:/Unix/Root /" 
   this command will not work. it gives the error
   "Device Busy" , which makes perfect sense, since cygwin
   is self is running out of a sub-dir of this dir.
   
   any thoughts as to what kevin might have meant ?

   Nope. You can install it in any directory :)
