As there is no answer I assume it is not possible to install source packages with setup.exe from the windows commandline. So I was looking for an official way to install source packages from within Cygwin. Most hits point to a tool called "apt-cyg". http://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/ This is a good example as the blind cygwin user is know to this list: http://superuser.com/questions/40545/upgrading-and-installing-packages-through-the-cygwin-command-line Still apt-cyg doesn't seem the official approach as it hosted on google. I plan to fetch source packages by simple use of wget if there isn't a more official and specific way.
