This also solves another recent mystery (for me): why I have unable to properly use another locally built program: $ cygcheck /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -> C:\cygwin\usr\local\sbin\..\stow\lighttpd-1.4.26\sbin\lighttpd.exe C:\cygwin\usr\local\sbin\..\stow\lighttpd-1.4.26\sbin\lighttpd.exe C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\cyglightcomp.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygfam-0.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygpcre-0.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygssl-0.9.8.dll cygcheck: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\cyglightcomp.dll is a symlink instead of a DLL Not to mention the whole list of modules, also built as DLLs... And -this is going to re-scope the subject- is there a way to circumvent this limitation? Other than pointing --prefix to /usr/local/ rather than /usr/local/stow/package, not to lose stow's little advantage to manage software as (pseudo)packages. I mean, if I want to use this version (1.4.26) of lighttpd (BTW, enhanced with IPV6, SSL and some other stuff -yet to test, though), am I suppossed to build a standard cygwin package for this to work? I'd try to (learn how and) get that done, if necessary, but just curious about it, too.
