cygwin

["Dr. Christoph Gille" <christoph.gille@charite.de>]

Dear David

Searching the mailing-list for an answer to my CYGWIN problem I found
a posting from you about a related topic and hope that you might be
able to help me.

Please appologize that I contact you directly before
posting to the mailing list

The Java program I write has some embedded C and Fortran source code
and therefore requires standard compilers which are absent on XP and
Windows2000.

Therefore the Java program downloads cygwin setup.exe and launches
setup.exe.

Before launching setup.exe it tells the user to select the program
gnu-make and the compilers for C, C++ and f77 in the devel group.

I would prefere if it could select it automatically to enable
unattended installation of these software components.

Further I want the installation in driveLetter:\cygwin\ because the
Java program needs to find the cygwin installation on HD.

The only choice the user has to make is the driveLetter.

What would be the best way to initiate a tailored installation on
a client running my Java program.


Many thanks for your help

Christoph

P.S.

I think that this is a general problem
which should be in in the FAQs. What is your opinion ?
