OK, I've seen that the most unix like environment is the MS SFU, but I
want to give open source a try...hence the Cygwin. I searched all over
the mailing lists and didn't find too much definitive so let's get at
my (first?) issue.

I got cygwin installed and running. I had to play about with the shell
designation to get build.sh to even begin to run. I needed to switch the 
header line to use bash instead of sh.

So then it seemed to start OK but then stops per the below:

$ ./build.sh -m mac68k -T /usr/cross/ tools

Anyone have suggestions on what the problem is and how to proceed?

Thanks,
