Okay maybe I have to precise more. I currently use a prepackaged version of the SF unxtools. Now I want to switch to cygwin, because I am working with cygwin since 2001 and it is pretty good! I do not want to make money with the distribution! For me it would be okay, if I could detect if there is a installed cygwin with my needed utils (bash, grep, sed, awk, read...) For now my only idea was to package it with my distribution. So here my new suggestion: 1. is cygwin installed? 1.1. yes, setup the environment-variables to use the installed one 1.1.1 are the needed tools installed? 1.1.2 no, run cygwin-setup and preselect the additionally needed tools 1.2. no, run cygwin-setup with the preselected needed tools Is this possible to realize?
