Documents about using cygport? Well, sort of ... - https://cygwin.com/packages.html - https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html - - https://cygwinports.github.io/cygport/cygport.1.html - https://github.com/cygwinports/cygport/blob/master/README - https://cygwinports.github.io/cygport/toc_index.html Using (Cygwin) git as starting point? - https://cygwin.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git - git is 'bleeding edge' (unstable by definition) cygwin.cygport file? - No, not present in git ... (not present in the git for newlib-cygwin) - a cygwin source tarball (to be found on any Cygwin mirror) is composed of a tarball, which represents git at a 'specific moment' in time plus the cygwin.cygport file - specific moment? Look for the 'cygwin-3_x_y' tags in git ... mirrors: https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html cygport build/ cygport package - the cygport build system is basically a wrapper around autoconf etc. (and build systems like cmake) - i.e. configure, make (Makefile) do not know about cygport Regards, Henri -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
