Harold? The sad thing is that the above "Andrew" is not a joke. Sigh. I can see I'm in for many weeks of apologies for calling Alexander Andrew. Sorry, *Alexander*. The even sadder thing is that I didn't need to even respond at all since the rest of this thread made things clear. Move along. Nothing to see here. cgf

Here we have the first candidate for --enable-gtk-doc, the docs aren't included in the source tarball, they need to be generated. I'll try if I can finish at least the OpenSP / OpenJade build soon.

Re: Harold gone?
Chuck hit the nail on the head. I handed over control of Cygwin/X because I am no longer interested in it. On the other hand, I still use Cygwin proper to get things done, so I can't exactly just sit there if package "foo" is not yet available for Cygwin and I need it for something I am working on... I'll have to package and maintain it myself. So Chuck was right in guessing that I am not giving up my non-X packages, but I am giving up the Cygwin/X project and I don't want to work on the X Server anymore, that is all.

The above is extended syntax that works in ash, but is certainly not valid bourne shell syntax (incidentally, IIRC, "$(cmd)" is not valid bourne shell syntax either, although it too works in ash). I understand that Cygwin's /bin/sh *is* ash, so if the postinstall script is intended to only run on Cygwin, the point is moot.
