Bleah -- but I tested this earlier. It worked...or at least I thought I was exercising the proper code path; I specifically wanted to make sure that cyclic dependencies were okay. I guess my earlier 'test' didn't really *test* what I thought it was testing...sorry for the trouble, folks. BUT: the dependency loop NEEDS to be there -- becuase those packages ARE mutually dependent. It's just that setup needs to traverse the loop only once and terminate. :-) --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Charles Wilson To: Robert Collins Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com, cygwin-apps@sources.redhat.com Subject: Re: setup current problems Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 01:08:00 -0000 Message-ID: <3C05FB2F.2050409@ece.gatech.edu> References: <009401c178b4$0d3d92b0$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> X-SW-Source: 2001-11/msg01804.html Message-ID: <20011129010800.1dpYu43KtYPtJpzaHSeRbYBrlGnq5b4hV5eUeYt_RqA@z> Robert Collins wrote: > I've found the problem with setup, and am preparing a new version now. > > FYI it's an infinite loop caused by the packages autoconf and > autoconf-devel (amongst others) depending on each other.
