This package has been pending for a *long* time, but I think I should ask: Should it be reviewed by cygwin-xfree instead of cygwin-apps? http://cygwin.com/setup.html does not mention placing binaries in any location other than usr/bin/*, and at least one package has been redirected from the cygwin-apps track to cygwin-xfree recently: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-06/msg00043.html If this does fall under cygwin-apps since it is not an X package but a package that requires X, should the package be recreated with prefix set to /usr instead of /usr/X11R6? Either way, should there be a section in setup.html about Cygwin packages that depend on Cygwin/XFree86, but are not part of Cygwin/XFree86? -- Daniel Reed [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://naim-users.org/nmlorg/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ It is so easy to miss pretty trivial solutions to problems deemed complicated.

Re: Proposing TCM as a cygwin package
Hi Daniel, I removed the duplicate man-directory and fixed the typo in setup.hint that Christopher reported. But now I ran into another problem, that keeps me from releasing the new packages: TCM does not run on Cygwin 1.5, because it coredumps on startup (SIGSEGV). I noticed that 1.5 is more picky about memory issues than 1.3. It's probably some off-by-one error in TCM, that did not occur so far on 1.3, but I'll have to recompile with debugging turned on to find out. I'll let you know when new packages are available.

The binary package includes: cygwindoc usr/doc/Cygwin/tcm-2.20.README bindir usr/X11R6/bin/ docdir usr/X11R6/doc/tcm-2.20/ man1dir usr/X11R6/doc/tcm-2.20/man/man1/ man1dir usr/X11R6/man/man1/ I am not 100% sure about including everything under usr/X11R6/, but I'm mostly concerned about having duplicate man1 directories under usr/X11R6/man/man1/ and usr/X11R6/doc/tcm-2.20/. Also, since this package was proposed, the expected location for the Cygwin README has changed to [I believe] usr/share/doc/Cygwin/tcm-2.20.README, which is something to keep in mind if you do release a -2. Sorry if any of this has been brought up before. This is the oldest review-less package in the PPL, so if these issues have been addressed just point me to the relevant archive entries.
Re: Proposing TCM as a cygwin package
Hi *, TCM 2.20 has been released last week (see http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~tcm/) and I have made source and binary packages for Cygwin now. At http://home.in.tum.de/~boesswet/tcm_cygwin.html you'll find the setup.hint, source and binary packages (marked as test in setup.hint). I successfully tested on two different machines, but more testers are (of course) welcome. There is one known bug right now that cannot easily be fixed: TCM relies upon fig2dev for printing and there is AFAIK no precompiled version for cygwin (although the original source compiles without problems). Anyone willing to become maintainer of fig2dev? :-) Best Regards, Daniel Pavel Tsekov wrote: Hello, Daniel!

Re: Proposing TCM as a cygwin package
Thank you, Pierre and Igor. But: can I put something like xfig into my setup.hint and setup.exe will find it? The package search finds lots of TeX-stuff when searching for xfig, but not xfig itself. BTW: transfig 3.2.4 compiles without errors, but with some warnings. Best Regards, Daniel Pierre A.

Re: Proposing TCM as a cygwin package
Hi Pavel and *, I'm currently waiting for the latest release (2.20) to come up, because it will save a lot of work when cygwinizing it (it will no longer require a dedicated toplevel-dir like /opt/tcm). According to its author and maintainer(s) at Twente University, it should be released soon, but I don't know the exact date. I'll keep you informed.

Proposing TCM as a Cygwin package
Dear cygwin-apps, I would like to become the maintainer of the TCM port for Cygwin. TCM is a drawing tool for X11 with a focus on ERM, UML and oher software design notations (see http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~tcm/). It is released under the GPL. I patched version 2.01 to run on Cygwin (see my page at http://home.debitel.net/user/boesswetter/tcm_cygwin/index.html) and version 2.20 (which will be released in the next couple of days) will include the Cygwin-patch. My hint-file looks like this (the requirements are still TBD): @ tcm sdesc: Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM) ldesc: The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling is a collection of software tools to present conceptual models of software systems in the form of diagrams, tables, trees, and the like. category: Devel Graphics requires: XFree86-base lesstiff ... Let me know what you think.
