There's been sporadic interest in rpm, so I thought someone might find this useful:
I've recently succeeded in persuading rpm-4.1 to compile under Cygwin. It was more troublesome than rpm-4.0.4, as it makes some assumptions about the system, and doesn't bother to use configure tests to make sure. Attached are my fixup script, and 2 patches (one bzip2ed - the script expects it uncompressed, though). The jbj9 patch is the diff between the rpm-4.1 from ftp.rpm.org, and the one inside Jeff Johnson's (the RPM maintainer) unofficial rpm-4.1-9 .src.rpm. The script fixes some things via perl regexps, and uses a patch for the rest. I'm rather unsure about one particular bit of code: is writing to the environ pointer legal? Anyway, here it is, in case anyone finds it useful. Max.
