Again thanks for the help....

Ok here is what I have done in preperation for creating a dqkit-custom.exe

1) I have downloaded Cygwin and installed it to C:/Cygwin
1.1) I tried to "overwrite bin/bash.exe as bin/sh.exe". 
However, a sh.exe file was already in the directory.  Is that right? 

2) I downloaded the dq mingw snapshot (and unzipped it)from sourceforge.
2.1) Placed it in C:/mingw Is the location correct?

3) I downloaded the 15 Meg dqkit-sources-0.2.tar.gz file (unzipped it) 
from sourceforge and placed it in C:/dkkit.
3.1) Is the location correct?

4) Activetcl 8.4.5.0 was already installed on the machine.



I opened a tcl wish and did the following to attempt to create a 
dqkit-custom.exe:

1) cd C:/dqkit
2) tclsh gen/buildkit build -tk -blt -resfile=current -binary=custom
( I am guessing this will build a kit with tk and blt only, right?)

and got the following:

Beginning compilation steps: options, setupdirs, tcl, mk, tk, itcl, blt, res,
zlib, vfs, link, finalize.

[ 1/12] options

[ 2/12] setupdirs

[ 3/12] tcl
    sh autoconf
couldn't execute "sh": no such file or directory
    while executing
"exec >@file88a218 2>@file88a218 sh autoconf"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval [concat [list exec >@$fh 2>@$fh] $cmd]"
    (procedure "out::oexec" line 5)
    invoked from within
"out::oexec {sh autoconf}"
    (procedure "dirconfigure" line 13)
    invoked from within
"dirconfigure 1 1 C:/dqkit/src/tcl-8.4.5/win C:/dqkit/build/AUSPC056/tcl ...    
...
...
yada yada yada ...

I am certain I have done something very wrong.  But what? I think I have not 
placed all of the files into the correct locations or something along those 
lines.  Can anyone inform me of my mistake?  Again I hate to sound so helpless 
here but I tend to learn by experience not by reading lol.

One final thing.  
I noticed that in the directory C:/dqkit/src/res there is a dqe.ico file.  
Can I replace that file with my own so that it appears in the 
final dqkit-custom.exe?

Thanks again.
