    Building python 2.4.2 on Cygwin

    Ok, I'm working on building python 2.4.2 on cygwin. I *think* it's
    version 3.0 or 3.1 (is there a quick way to find out what version of
    cygwin is running within a shell?)

    Anyway, it appears to 'configure' fine, but gcc reports a compile error
    when it gets to posixmodule.c. Here's the first few lines of the error
    message:

    =============== ===============
    gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I.
    -I./Include -DPy_BUILD_CORE -c ./Modules/posixmodule.c -o
    Modules/posixmodule.o
    Modules/posixmodule.c:3 08: warning: function declaration isn't a
    prototype
    Modules/posixmodule.c: In function `posix_ttyname' :
    Modules/posixmodule.c:1 162: warning: implicit declaration of function
    `ttyname'
    Modules/posixmodule.c:1 162: warning: assignment makes pointer from
    integer without a cast
    Modules/posixmodule.c: In function `posix_mkdir':
    Modules/posixmodule.c:1 791: too many arguments to function `mkdir'
    =============== ===============

    I've researched this a bit, and it sounds like cygwin gets all confused
    about system includes and so on. Is there a good, comprehensive
    explanation somewhere of how to make this all work? (Most of the
    threads I've found are helpful, but not complete unfortunately).

    Thanks,

      Use "uname -r". What version are you running?

          Uname tells me:

          $ uname -r
          1.5.18(0.132/4/2)

              Just to be sure, what does the following indicate?

              $ cygcheck -c cygwin

              Sorry, but I cannot reproduce your problem under Cygwin 1.5.18.

              BTW, can you use the pre-built Python 2.4.1 that is part of the standard
              Cygwin distribution?

                  Nope--I need to do a custom python build for a very specific situation...

                      Try reinstalling Cygwin 1.5.18 or upgrading to 1.5.19.
