[ts-7000] Re: cannot build kernel ts7800 cygwin, please help!

["artcar12" <>]

Yeah I know I'm in way over my head on this one.  I need to rebuild 
the kernel in order to use a usb joystick to control a robot.  I 
tried make and make bzimage but I still get the error about an 
undefined reference to _libintl_gettext.  I don't know if the error 
is because I'm using cygwin but I think building the kernel is beyond 
my abilities, do you know of any way to load a joystick driver as a 
module without building the whole kernel?
