What is this library needed for? I don't think using interval code is used much these days already and needs for multiprecision interval computations are even more rare. The only two packages I know of that (optionally, I think) use this library are not available on Cygwin anyway. > What would you think of it, Achim? I haven't looked at the sources, but if it really needs that cpdirs you have in your cygport file then I'd rather not deal with it until they fix their stuff to build cleanly out-of-tree. Although the YACP mpfi package definition seems to indicate that this is maybe not necessary. -- Achim. (on the road :-)
