I would use a --prefix or whatever defines the install directories in your cases to be something easily recognizable and install it. Then execute a recursive grep on that folder. grep -lir --binary-files=binary cygwin1.dll /my/install/dir If a file is listed then you can decide what to do next. -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
