 Hi
 
 I would like to contribute and maintain the

 packages.
 
   Your sense of timing is perfect.  I just spent an evening trying to
 build this myself and finally got going with some half-working crudely

  Well, the packaging looks ok, and the binaries appear to work after a bit of
crude smoke-testing, but I can't successfully rebuild from source.  I've tried
on two different systems now (both fairly up-to-date), and they've both hung
up at this stage:

-
Making all in vmalloc
make[3]: Entering directory
`/tmp/volker/graphviz/rebuild/graphviz-2.18-1/build/lib/vmalloc'
mkdir -p ../../FEATURE
/tmp/volker/graphviz/rebuild/graphviz-2.18-1/src/graphviz-2.18/iffe - set cc
gcc   : run
/tmp/volker/graphviz/rebuild/graphviz-2.18-1/src/graphviz-2.18/lib/vmalloc/fea
tures/vmalloc  ../../FEATURE/vmalloc
-

  In each case there was a stuck exe running, FALBA2320.exe for one and
FUBIK-something-or-other on the other.  The stuck exe was using zero cpu and
just sitting there indefinitely.  Running it manually at the command-line
didn't stall.  The sh.exe that invoked the iffe script is still alive but also
stalled.  After killing the exe, the shell wakes up and carries on with the
build.

  The FALBA2320.c test was checking for the presence of strdup and sure enough
it doesn't seem to appear in any of the feature test macros in
build/FEATURE/vmalloc.

cheers,

Sorry, I'm busy at the moment I can only say it worked for me. I'll
check again if I can reproduce.

Yes, but your version builds a whole bunch of bindings and such that you 
can't do using only packages in the official Cygwin distro.  When I said 
I couldn't get graphviz to build, it's because I was still in the 
process of removing stuff from your .cygport file.  My effort to adopt 
these new packages is interleaved with real work, so my 
edit/compile/debug/retry cycle is hours long.


As I see it, this is why Ports is still useful, because I don't see 
Cygwin adopting 100% of the packages in it.  These interdependencies 
make Ports much richer, but also more complicated.  There's a need for both.
