Yann,
The cygwin source tarballs are mostly for reference. They are really not
designed to be compiled OOTB. Your best bet is to compile out of CVS.
However, if you really need to use a source tarball, here's a way I
compiled from source tarballs in the past:
You'll need to install the source of the corresponding version of the
w32api package. You'll then need to make a symlink in the winsup
subdirectory of the cygwin source:
$ cd /usr/src/cygwin-VERSION/winsup && ln -s ../../w32api-VERSION ./w32api
After that, read <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC103> for instructions
on how to build the dll (I used a 'build' subdirectory under the source
directory instead of '/obj').
Hope this helps.
Igor
