Err...it's not just those directories that are missing. Setup automatically creates the appropriate directories -- if there are files that "want" to be put in them. Conclusion: not one of the 40 or so cygwin packages contains a single "foo.4" man page or "foo.2" man page.
e.g. We don't have documentation for "ANSI C functions such as fread, fwrite, etc)". If you can find a free (as in speech, as in beer) source for them, please contribute. --Chuck Abhijit Patait wrote: > Hi > > I recently installed cygwin.
