According to the documentation, passing an empty string to iconv denotes locale dependent character encoding. This leads me to conclude that by default on cygwin: cd = iconv_open("UTF-16LE", ""); should produce the same encodings as: cd = iconv_open("UTF-16LE", "ISO-8859-1"); but it doesn't for

Saving package list from cygwin setup?

Is there a way to save the list of packages that are currently installed and then install that same list on another machine? It doesn't have to keep and align the version numbers since I keep my packages up to date. Basically I'm looking for the list that's shown on the "Select Packages" page w

Re: package update for cygwin CMake

d the last has to do with case-sensitivity and path handling. If I don't hear anything I'll have a look at whether they still apply cleanly to latest upstream sources and see how building goes. -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: h

Re: package update for cygwin CMake

actly why they were needed, especially the case-sensitivity and path handling *-cygwin.patch The same number of CMake unit tests passed with an unpatched bootstrap straight from the upstream sources, so I didn't get the entire rationale. -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/pro
