Hello colinux-hackers,

I wrote a very simple script to automatically build the cygwin environment
for colinux. This is not ready yet! The script also builds the dependend
libs and colinux itself.
It tries also to build the kernel file vmlinux, but this don't work yet,
because I still get this strange terminations (reason 7) I wrote about on
this list. But building the kernel should be an independend step to get
this running.
I just have a debian-unstable system to check this out, so it's possible
that it don't work on other system. The script should try to download the
necessary packages and patches with wget. So check if this is also
installed.

How to use this script:

1) create a new empty directory on a volume where you have 1.5 GB space.
2) copy cobuild.sh in this directory
3) start this script from this directory.... get a coffee (if it runs
throw you will have the time if not, you will need it ;-))


If all runs through you should have a self compiled versions of colinux in
the build subdir of your folder. To run this you can copy the
.exe-files+linux.sys to windows. Currently you can also try to use the
vmlinux file that was build, but on my system I get this "termination",
but I can run successsfully with the vmlinux file from the binary
colinux-file.

Hope this helps someone.

Kind regards,
 Thomas
