What else is involved, and can I help with that?" Once again: Don't need help. If you are thinking about maintaining a cygwin package then watch what is being discussed in cygwin-apps and read the "Cygwin Packages" link on the Cygwin web site. If you have a general question about cygwin packages then ask it. I'm not going to be providing you with my personal insights about make, however. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
