A couple of days ago, I had serious problems finding the appropriate DLLs for a recent Win32-port of J=F6rg Schillings famous CDRTools. The port done by Thomas Plank available at http://www.student.tugraz.at/thomas.plank/cdrtools-3.01a06-win32-bin.zip is based on Cygwin. I intended to use CDRTools/ CDRecord as my only Cygwin-application (perhaps more one day), thus no current need install the entire Cygwin distribution. Alas, Thomas' package lacks a comprehensive set of DLLs required to run CDRecord standalone (the port has obviously been developed within a Cygwin environment, so the author could not track which DLLs exactly are required to run his binaries). A 5-hour-lasting-Odyssey revealed that, apart from CYGWIN1.DLL v1.7.9, libraries from the following packages are necessary to run CDRTools: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/cygwin/release/gcc4/libgcc1/libgcc1-4.5.= 3-3. tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.cygwin.com///pub/cygwinports/release/libiconv/libiconv2/libiconv2= -1. 12-1.tar.bz2 http://cygwin.cybermirror.org/release/gettext/libintl8/libintl8-0.18.1.1-2.= tar.bz2 I mention the full URLs to indicate the difficulties I had in finding the appropriate code: while the "Search Packages"-function ( http://cygwin.com/packages/ ) is great as it indicates the package name for a requested DLL, the search hits lack links (URLs) to appropriate locations on http://cygwin.com/ ! Only a few (and sometimes wrong) packages in handmade directory listings of ftp.cygwin.com and ftp.cygwinports.com were found (is there a true "ls-lR.gz" directory listing of more than 59 bytes, which would greatly facilitate further search for packages?). Apparently, the current download system relies on http://cygwin.com/setup.e= xe (562 KB, as of 2011/11/04). Alas, this tool cannot be used with my systems, as the dial-in host only runs LX-executables, and the Win32- computer intended to run CDRTools cannot access the internet via Squid neither, due to an unsupported onboard ethernet chip. Anyway, I finally succeeded, Cdrecord runs nice my WinNT4SP6a system (already burned first DVDs) - so it was probably worth it to stay up one night searching 200 kb of Cygwin packages (easier pathways welcome:). Thus, great thanks for your development! (The issue with inconsistent libraries in Thomas Plank's distribution has been adressed to the author - unfortunately, his server bounces my mail).
