How would I uninstall Cygwin?

How would I uninstall Cygwin?

[Jeff Conrad]

I am just wondering on how to uninstall Cygwin?  I don't see
it in the add/remove programs dialog box, and I don't see an
uninstaller in the start menu.

Jeff

You use the same setup.exe as for installing it, if you 
don't see nothing in the setup window, there is a button 'Full/Part'.
If you hit it all packages that are installed will be displayed. 
Now you may select to reinstall, uninstall, downgrade for every 
single package. 

Per default there is only shown what is not installed or where an 
update is possible.

If you mean *completely* uninstall Cygwin, there is a FAQ entry "How
do I uninstall Cygwin?" which should answer your question.  If it
doesn't, let us know.  (The list, not me personally.)

I will update the FAQ entry to describe this, too.

Thanks for pointing it out.

building pine on cygwin?

[dave]

Hello,
    Has anyone built pine 4.33 or 4.40 on cygwin from source? If so what
arguments do I pass to the build program and were there any special things I
had to do?
Thanks.
Dave.
