Yes, I've asked Jerome for a rebuild (after trying myself; I gave up). > I may missed some important point, be sure to lookup > http://cygwin.com/setup.html Thanks. I know about that page; but I'm not sure about the status of all individual items; notably the absolute silly reversed-patch requirement. I've seen some discussion, but no conclusion or agreement... I've tried to stay within the spirit of it, the packages should now be mostly complient. (Fwiw, I think it's totally silly to reinvent package management for the umpteenth time. Three years ago, I ported RPM and (cross-)built all my Cygwin (lilypond-support) packages as RPMS. RPM didn't catch on, and I built a set of cross-build scripts from the .spec shell-snippets. But now discussions on cygwin-apps mention 'RPM-like' behaviour and layout. Sigh.)
