Creating an installation package

Creating an installation package

[Brandon Chase]

 I'm trying to create an installation package for an update m68k toolchain (will 

not be uploaded to the Cygwin server). I have the tars of binutils, newlib, and 
gcc as well as some patches. What is the best way to create an installation 
package for these three? I've looked on http://www.cygwin.com but it seems like 
I may only need a setup.ini file to install the packages. What is the best way 
to start?

setup.exe use setup.ini to recognize the several packages
available on site
see
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html

setup.ini is built by genini from the available setup.hint's
for every package.

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/genini/?cvsroot=cygwin-apps

When you have everything in place you can use

setup.exe -X  -O -s http://your_site_name

to install the package from your site.

Marco
