Re: setup.exe: How to install sources from the command line?
When I open the shell for the first time, the user directory is created. Is there a trigger to reach this without manually opening a login shell? The check is in '/etc/profile'. It's just checking if $HOME exists. Thank you, that's it. I try what's happen if I source /etc/profile from a non login shell bash skript.

Re: setup.exe: How to install sources from the command line?
Google wasn't my friend here. I managed to install packages with the --category and --packages option of setup.exe. I didn't find out how to install sources. 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.

I didn't find out how to install sources. There is a second cygwin setup skripting question. When I open the shell for the first time, the user directory is created. Is there a trigger to reach this without manually opening a login shell? I tried to open the shell from within a .bat script to trigger the user directory generation. P:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe - It blocked the batch script and took no additional --exec paramteter to exit on it's own.
