Are these kindof things taken care of by the cygport program mentioned in c:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/zlib-1.2.3.README? >so in general you >should get the -src package and not the upstream source. Did I download the src package already when I used the cygwin installer program and checked the src checkbox? OK, so I thought I would be clever and read the c:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/zlib-1.2.3.README before posting another question ;). In c:/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/zlib-1.2.3.README it says to use cygport. Hmmm... that cygport program is pretty clever. Why did not the /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README mention this program? I suppose only some programs use it? thanks, Siegfried -- 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/
