-*** Syntax errors running configure scripts, make failing with exit code 127
- in inexplicable situations, etc.
-
-This may be because you are using the default cygwin shell. The
-default cygwin shell (/bin/sh.exe) is ash which appears to work in
-most circumstances but has some weird failure modes. You need to
-replace the symlink with bash.exe.
-
-*** Lots of compile errors, esp. on lines containing macro definitions
- terminated by backslashes.
-
-Your partition holding the source files is mounted binary. It needs
-to be mounted text. (This will not screw up any binary files because
-the Cygwin utilities specify explicitly whether they want binary or
-text mode when working with source vs. binary files, which overrides
-the mount type.) To fix this, you just need to run the appropriate
-mount command once -- afterwards, the settings are remembered in the
-registry.
-
-*** Errors from make like /c:not found.
-
-make sure you set the environment variable MAKE_MODE to UNIX in your
-.bashrc, Control Panel (Windows 2000/NT), or AUTOEXEC.BAT (Windows
-98/95).
