I found out that many ported gnome libs are dependant to libresolv, unfortunately I was unable to find one.. Any hints where I could get that one for Cygwin?
Can't fault you, as a package search for "libresolv" returns nothing. Had you tried searching for "resolv.h", however, you'd've found that you need to install the "minires-devel" package. The minires-devel postinstall script creates a symlink from /usr/lib/libminires.dll.a to /usr/lib/libresolv.a. Igor P.S. I wonder if there's a way to create manifests of files/symlinks potentially created by postinstall scripts, to be used in package searches?
Well, since I don't personally need resolv.h (it just something needed to link in gnome packages) I couldn't even guess..
But it's very obvious.. I think there is lot to improve with package management in Cygwin, since these kind of a guestions would never appear due properly handled dependencies.
