He's basically saying that you have to follow the instructions on the cygwinports web site. cygwinports is a separate project and is only loosely affiliated with the stuff at http://cygwin.com/ . If you have questions about it, there are links to mailing lists on the cygwinports web site, which, apparently is: http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/ 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/
