no libtool in cygwin? Was there ever?

2001-12-03 Thread Paul Johnson

I've used cygwin occassionally for several years, and some things that
used to work for me don't seem to work anymore.  For example, I tried to
run the autogen.sh script that comes with Window Maker and it failed,
saying I must install libtool.

I can't find a libtool package anywhere in the cygwin servers.  Can
somebody give me a head's up?

I realize I can download/install libtool myself, but i wonder why Cygwin
makes that necessary.

Newbie Question

2002-01-09 Thread Paul Johnson

Having just installed Cygwin under Win98, I'm curious to know if I can
change the screen height to 50 lines (or some other, larger, number).

TIA,

Paul

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to set >25 lines on a DOS box
using Win98.  I was hoping that Cygwin itself had such a mechanism, or that
there was a third party tool in use.

Best Regards,

Paul

I did all of the above before asking my question.  I checked the FAQ and
documentation and did several searches.  I did not find an answer to my
question, and have still not seen an answer to my question.
