The "patch" utility is part of the (surprise, surprise) "patch" package. Luckily for you, the "patchutils" package depends on the "patch" package, so setup installed it for you at no extra cost. For the future, if you need to find out which package contains a particular utility, use the Cygwin package search page at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>. It usually helps to append ".exe" to the name of the executable, or prepend "bin/" to it (the ".exe" trick doesn't work for symlinks and shell scripts). > However, I couldn't find autoreconfig, Hmm, let's see: <http://cygwin.com/packages/>, type in "bin/autoreconf", hit "Go", and voila -- "Found 6 matches for bin/autoreconf". I'll let you actually perform the above to find out which packages contain it. > so I just, > > rm -rf rdesktop-1.4.0 > tar -xvf rdesktop-1.4.0.tar > cd rdesktop-1.4.0 > patch -p1 < ../rdesktop.patch > ./configure > make > make install > > and I have rdesktop 1.4.0. > > thanks Dave. > > josé > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "jose isaias cabrera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ehm, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR>.
