To: cygwin@cygwin.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2018-05/txt/msg00123.txt.bz2 Hi, We are looking for an easy way to distribute an OCaml development enviroment based on Cygwin. Someone has an idea of installing all the necessary packages and zip the whole Cygwin installation directory and distribute the resulting archive. Is it a good idea? Is the installation path written in a Cygwin installation somewhere that may need to be updated when relocating? Is there any registry entry or env var required for a Cygwin installation to work?
