BrickOS installation with WinME and Cygnus problems

Hello,
   I have spent several hours trying to install BrickOS on my Windows ME system.
I am a novice with C/Cygwin/linux, so have been diligently searching the Lugnet
posts for clues.  That has gotten me a little farther each day, but now I am
_really_ stuck.  I am following the web pages "brickOS 0.2.6.10 Instructions for
installing on
Win9x/NT/2000/XP" by Paolo Masetti, and "brickOS step-by-step with cygwin" by
(I'm not online and can't check it.)

I've got Cygwin 1.3.22-1 installed.  I installed BrickOS 0.2.6.10.  My Path
command looks like this:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\CYGWIN;C:\CYGWIN\BIN;C:\CYGWIN\H8300-000821\H-I686-CYGWIN32\BIN;

Problem #1 (really #314):
When I do "make strip" in /BrickOS/util, I get an error:

strip:  fontdesign.exe: no such file or directory
(From what I gather, this may not really be a significant problem?)

Problem #2:
When I type

./firmdl3  ../boot/brickOS.srec

it can't find the brickOS.srec.  It's not in the /boot directory.  I can't find
it anywhere.  What command produces brickOS.srec?

Aha! Problem #3:
When I run Make in the BrickOS directory, I get an error message about Random.c
having some undeclared routines.  Maybe this is causing all the following
"makes" to be skipped?  I am not enough of a C programmer yet to feel that I can
fix Random.c.

I'm so close to the RCX I can _taste_ it!  Any help would be much appreciated
and probably save my sanity.

[SNIP] (...) [SNIP] Tom, I would follow Max's advice about posting your commands and output here. But one thing that might cause issues with your setup is your path. It looks like the windows dos commands (C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND) come before your cygwin (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
