For any unoffical cygwin package release the: package should be configured with --prefix=/usr/local/package-x.x.x. .dll should goto /usr/local/package-x.x.x/bin. .a should goto /usr/local/package-x.x.x/lib. .exe should goto /usr/local/package-x.x.x/bin. .info should goto /usr/local/package-x.x.x/doc/info. man files should goto /usr/local/package-x.x.x/doc/man. html files should goto /usr/local/package-x.x.x/doc/html. etc. no versioning controls of the names of the libraries unless the libraries use shared memory regions that may conflict with other libraries of the same name.
