How have your db and rpm ports been Chuck> generated? Yes, the ports are done. Basically, I took the Project HeavyMoon[1] patches for db-2/rpm-3 and reworked them slightly. The only thing I found so far is that find-requires needs to call cygcheck (instead of ldd), but other than that, it seems to work fine. Post-install and pre-uninstall scripts work fine. I had thought about submitting my db-2/rpm-3 ports as contributed packages, but I didn't know how much interest there would be, given that both are old versions. Chuck> Is db built as a dll, or as a static lib ? Currently db is linked statically, but I suppose that a DLL should work. Chuck> BTW, for your purposes perhaps you could pack up your Chuck> bootstrap environment into a self-extracting zip file ? Yes, I think that would work fine. I was thinking about looking for an open-source/GPL solution, but I've not started looking yet. If you can point me to something, I'd definitely would look at it.
