+Install all required components in one directory (we'll call it /src).
+Ideally, you should check out what you need from CVS (@file{http://cygwin.com/cvs.html}) but

+cygwin distribution.
-Assuming that you have the src installed as /src, will build in
-the directory /obj, and want to install the tools in /install:
+As of this writing, you need to install at least the cygwin source
+package and the w32api source package.
+
+It is possible that the cygwin source package may require a newer
+version of the w32api package since the release of the packages is
+not always in lock step (another reason to just use CVS).

+You @emph{must} build cygwin in a separate directory from the source.
+So, create something like a /obj directory. You'll be performing
+your build in that directory:
@example
bash
make install > install.log 2>&1
@end example
