To run a precompiled version of man with Cygwin 1.5.24 and above you will need 
the following utilities

 o man, bash, cygwin, bzip2, coreutils, gawk, groff, gzip and less

Click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
This downloads setup.exe to your system.  Save it and run setup, answer 
the questions and pick up the above mentioned packages from the different 
categories.


Building from source
====================

Adjust the paths in configure and man2html/Makefile.in to suit your
installation.

man-1.6e builds with:

    CC="gcc -O2 -DNONLS -DLC_MESSAGES=6" ./configure +fhs +lang all
    
then issue:

    make
    
then:

    make install

Edit the installed man.conf to suit your site.
