cygport does not automatically generate dependencies

cygport does not automatically generate dependencies

[DRC]

I am attempting to create a new Cygwin package for my open source
software (VirtualGL) using cygport.  The package is generated correctly,
but the "requires" field in the auto-generated hint is empty.  The
documentation for cygport implies that it should automatically generate
package dependencies.  I've spent the last two hours googling for a
solution, to no avail.  What am I missing?  The package builds three
executables that should depend on libGL1, libX11_6, libXext6, libXtst6,
and libturbojpeg0.

That only works when you don't cross-compile and you didn't say whether
you are or not.

and if you have installed the cygwin packages for the build
and you are not using your own hand installed one.

   cygport --debug <cygport_file> deps

will be very verbose on the dependencies check

I figured it out.  Apparently the cygport script requires .exe files to
have execute permissions in order to check dependencies on them, and for
whatever reason, when running my build on a shared network drive, those
files weren't created with the correct permissions.  I ran the build on
a local drive, and it works properly now.
