Again I think that rules out the Gtk/Gnome stuff. I know next to nothing about Wx, I think the dependency chain is manageable, but I haven't looked at what testing the distribution entails. I think I have built SGMLSpm in the past locally, I have to check. > perl-GD Already Updated > perl-Glib already built > > perl-Alien-wxWidgets > perl-Cairo > perl-Cairo-GObject > perl-GStreamer1 > perl-Glib-Object-Introspection > perl-Gnome2 > perl-Gnome2-Canvas > perl-Gnome2-GConf > perl-Gnome2-Rsvg > perl-Gnome2-VFS > perl-Gnome2-Vte > perl-Gnome2-Wnck > perl-Gtk2 > perl-Gtk2-GladeXML > perl-Gtk2-Notify > perl-Gtk2-SourceView2 > perl-Gtk2-Spell > perl-Gtk2-Unique > perl-Gtk2-WebKit > perl-Gtk3 > perl-Pango > perl-SGMLSpm > perl-Wx > > > perl-Win32-GUI Do we need it ? The last time we tried to drop it there was a complaint IIRC. I have no idea if it still works, I thihnk it needs a few pretty invasive patches (from memory, which may be wrong). I have built myself before, but then it broke and Yaakov made it work again so I'm not really sure what to do about it. It doesn't really fit in with what Cygwin tries to do (IIRC it comes from Strawberry Perl, which is Windows native).
