The latter was true. I updated the packages as per your instructions: the actual binaries are now in /usr/lib/astrometry/bin, whereas two user interface commands are PATH-setting shell scripts, /usr/bin/solve-field and /usr/bin/wcsinfo. Solve-field is the actual astrometry.net solver, whereas wcsinfo is used to extract World Coordinate System data from the output generated by solve-field. There may be more commands that should be available in the default PATH; I'm sure the astrometry.net community will notify me if this is the case. > There's also still the issue with usr/lib/astrometry/libbackend.so. > If that's really a shared lib, it should be called cygbackend.dll > and should reside in /usr/bin. =A0If the binaries are using it, they > should also be linked against it, rather than being linked statically. I dug a little deeper into it, and to my best knowledge the .so was being used only by two Python-scripts, which weren't even installed by the Makefile. So I'm assuming it's either a WIP or obsolete code. I modified the package source (and Makefile) to reflect Cygwin's naming scheme, however, the shared lib is _not_ installed anymore (neither in the binary package, nor by the Makefile in the source package). I haven't noticed anything breaking up due to this. Package filenames are the same, but the contents have been updated. wget \ http://rubor.org/astrometrytortilla/astrometry.net/astrometry.net-0.38-1.ta= r.bz2 \ http://rubor.org/astrometrytortilla/astrometry.net/astrometry.net-0.38-1-sr= c.tar.bz2 \ http://rubor.org/astrometrytortilla/astrometry.net/setup.hint --=20 jussi
