Oh, yes. I wouldn't recompile multiple times. That would take forever. It is already pretty frustrating to make a change to the source tree, recompile, and then find twenty minutes later that something is broken in libjava (one of the last things to compile). If I was doing this, I'd probably write a filter which detected what was being installed by java, libstdc++, etc. and then build tar files based on that. It would be nice to break out the libstdc++ package as well. >An example which works and may help Gerrit (I use the resulting >C and C++ packages) is the 3.3.1 script from Slackware - >http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-current/testing/source/gcc-3.3.1/gcc.SlackBuild > >I guess Cygwin doesn't need a separate C++ package. I think it does, really. But, this will probably cause massive confusion for people who'd previously installed. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
