Yaakov (Cygwin Ports) wrote: It's been in Ports for over a year... 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.

My primary goal is to buiild the dot program which is used by the doxygen package to generate the source documentation. I will do my best to get the other parts working as well. Sounds good. I looked briefly at this when I packaged doxygen, but found the many dependencies meant that this is quite an undertaking. My plan is to use as much shared libraries ( libgd , libfreetype ) as practical, and link the missing libraries statically. That would work, but I would suggest strongly considering packaging the additional libraries as individual packages, and linking them dynamically. I took this approach with Subversion's dependencies (apr, apr-util, neon), and it has paid off rather well in terms of decreased build times of the main package, and the ability to fix bugs in dependencies independently of the dependant package. Here is my proposed setup hint. cut here -- sdesc: graph visualization software ldesc: Graphviz is open source graph visualization software. It has several main graph layout programs, web and interactive graphical interfaces, auxiliary tools, libraries, and language bindings. The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in several useful formats such as images and SVG for web pages, Postscript for inclusion in PDF or other documents; or display in an interactive graph browser. Graphviz has many useful features for concrete diagrams, such as options for colors, fonts, tabular node layouts, line styles, hyperlinks, and custom shapes. In practice, graphs are usually generated from an external data sources, but they can also be created and edited manually, either as raw text files or within a graphical editor. (Graphviz was not intended to be a Visio replacement, so it is probably frustrating to try to use it that way.) Wow, that is a *long* ldesc. I'd suggest just the first 2 paragraphs should be ldesc, and put the entire thing in the Cygwin-specific README file. category: Graphics requires: cygwin external-source: package That external-source line is wrong, check the website docs again. Max.

I think I'll at least package up a new doxygen for now. Graphviz is still short on votes ;) - reguardless of its legal status.
