Which package are you trying to build. Unless the thing crashed completely msys_build_deps.py should have displayed a listing at the end showing where it stalled, that is, it will show which DLL were not installed. The packages taken straight form SVN may not have a .configure file. msys_build_deps.py will create those automatically for SDL, SDL_mixer and smpeg. If any other packages were taken from SVN then it will fail. To manually create a configure file start the Msys console, go into the package's root directory and type './autogen.sh'.
Anyway, the general Unix steps msys_build_deps.py takes to installing a package are:
./autogen.sh # only for SVN packages
./configure
make
make install
strip /usr/local/bin/<lib-name>.DLL
The msys shell scripts run to build the packages are found at the end of msys_build_deps.py

Hi Tyler,
I wrote msys_build_deps.py and look after the Windows
dependencies. I haven't seen this error before. I run the program
on both Win 98 and XP. If you are using Msys 1.0.10 try upgrading
to 1.0.11. I only user 1.0.10 because 1.0.11 doesn't work on Win
98 and I have limited access to XP. Msys 1.0.11 will be needed to
build ffmpeg anyway, since the bash shell in 1.0.10 is apparently
too old for the ffmpeg configure script. If you continue having
problems then just use the prebuilt dependencies for now:
http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/prebuilt-pygame1.9.0-msvcr71-win32.zip
(for Python 2.4-2.5)
(md5sum 0c9b5c65dbd10b5469d2523cf58b7890)
http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/prebuilt-pygame1.9.0-msvcr90-win32.zip
(for Python 2.6-3.x)
(md5sum 8dcd7e7c840d656c3ca7576095777c81)
Install the prebuilt directory into the Pygame root directory, run
config.py and answer 'n' to msys built, 'y' to use prebuilts.
I suppose now I must really try to get ffmpeg built.

Not python under cygwin. Thats a leftover string from msys
using cygwin code. The command I was trying to execute was
python msys_build_deps.py --all
Python is installed. Msys is installed, but throwing that error.
And no worries. I just wasn't clear enough. :)

The error says that it "Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's

Why are you trying to install Python under CygWin? From what I
understand, most programmers consider that a separate platform
from Windows. You should probably try to install the native
windows version, instead of the linux version running under
cygwin. Sorry if I misunderstood you.
