Hi;
I was trying to precisely follow the install instructions on
http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/ so as to have a correct and fully
functional CygwinPorts instance.
I am able to get to step 5 when I get an error about pkg not found or
something like that. I try repeatedly over the next couple of days but the
same problem.
In my "great wisdom" I removed the setup.ini file, thinking that perhaps
I'll be able to get a fresh one when running cygwin.exe the next time.
No dice.
Now, how to proceed?
I have GnuWin32, but that's still not as good as Cygwin. I'm about to try
the free and open-source version of the VmWare server again so that I can
have Linux on my Windows XP laptop, but I think that overwhelmed my poor
laptop drive because every time I've done that in the past, the laptop drive
went south on me. A vanilla cygwin is just not enough :-(
Help!
