Chris,
Thanks for the reference. As I mentioned, it wasn't retrievable via
Google. Strange.
As you had stated earlier, the key to solving the problem is to reference:
--icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 in the shortcut
Note to everyone, including Andy, the ICO file worked until
* 'man' is installed.
* 'cygcheck' says ok
* 'makewhatis' is run after each run of setup.
* 'apropos' works fine
* 'whatis' does not
For example:
* 'man ls' works
* 'apropos dir' finds 'ls' among other commands/libraries/etc
* whatis 'ls' doesn't work
$ type whatis
whatis is hashed
Almost every install of setup (with my prior use of 1.5, and now
with 1.7) runs into some kind of problem (some -- but not all --
of them no doubt my own confusion).
Note that I install all new packages and updates almost every
time they are available, with a frequency of about twice a week.
