 <para>First, you need to make sure you have the necessary build tools
-installed; you at least need <literal>gcc-g++</literal>, <literal>make</literal>,
-<literal>perl</literal>, <literal>cocom</literal>, <literal>gettext-devel</literal>,

 Building for 32-bit Cygwin also requires
-<literal>mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core</literal> (for building the cyglsa64 DLL for WoW64),
 <literal>mingw64-i686-gcc-g++</literal> and <literal>mingw64-i686-zlib</literal>.
 Building for 64-bit Cygwin also requires
 <literal>mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++</literal> and
 <literal>mingw64-x86_64-zlib</literal>.
-If you want to run the tests, <literal>dejagnu</literal> is also required.

 Normally, building ignores any errors in building the documentation,
