Okay, first question: regarding the list of packages. The Step-By-Step page I
was following included a list of 'packages' that needed to be installed. The
Cygwin installer that came off the official site was missing the following:

autoconf
autoconf-devel
autoconf-stable
automake
automake-devel
automake-stable
binutils
cpio
cygwin
diff
file
flex
gcc
less
m4
make
mingw-runtime
mktemp
patch
pcre
perl
time
w32api

But nowhere in the tutorial did it mention that I'd need to go elsewhere to find
these other packages... do I? What filetype are they? Where are they? How do I
add them to the installer? Would it be easier to just ditch Cygwin and
re-install Mandrake on my old hard drive?

Perhaps because the tutorial isn't update ....



Second Problem. Maybe missing the gcc package is the reason that 'make' doesn't
work;

$ make
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `/brickos-0.2.6.10/util'
make.exe[2]: Entering directory `/brickos-0.2.6.10/util/dll-src'
gcc -o loader.o -c loader.c -D_WIN32 -O2 -Wall -I.
-I/brickos-0.2.6.10/include/lnp
make.exe[2]: gcc: Command not found
make.exe[2]: *** [loader.o] Error 127
make.exe[2]: Leaving directory `/brickos-0.2.6.10/util/dll-src'
make.exe[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `/brickos-0.2.6.10/util'
make.exe: *** [all] Error 2
$

But I do have (several) files named gcc, so how can it 'not be found'?


Make sure that the gcc.exe is in your PATH .... To know it try those
step :

Locate the folder where gcc.exe is stock. when it's done type : "echo
$PATH" in a console (without "")
make sure the path you locate for gcc is in the text return by the
command ....
Oups !! I don't know if it work like this in the cygwin ....
Try to searche the path macro in the config.sys or autoexec.bat
(something like that i'm not under m$ windows)

Other solution is to download legnoppix ;-)
