Hi! You did the same thing wrong I did when I built my first distribution
build. Apparently this is what happens when you "cvs co" from within Cygwin.
The solution is documented at http://www.abisource.com/dev_download.phtml
(towards the very bottom). Basically you have to run CVS from Windows
command line and Viola, you have CR/LF. I do like this:
path=%PATH%; c:\cygwin\bin;
cd to your checkout directory
set CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.abisource.com:/cvsroot
cvs login
cvs co blah blah blah
Cheers,
Tim
