Others of us who can "use our brains" are somewhat leery of simple mass-moving library files around in a package-managed system, unless the developers say it won't be harmful. Maybe your solution is benign, but if it starts causing subtle gcc errors due to wrongly-versioned files it will be impossible to debug. At the very least the need to manually move files around is a signal that something has gone wrong in the install process. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
