I've made a new version of groff available for installation.  This is an
overdue refresh from ftp.gnu.org.  It is reputed to fix the problem
mentioned here:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-04/msg00745.html

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and click Next repeatedly.  This will update
any out-of-date packages on your computer.

It does indeed. No more funny quotes either. Thanks very much, also to
Matthias for pointing out the solution.

This version produces the same errors with pfbtops that I reported some time ago
against the previous version.  I've compiled from the source package again and
all is well:

#> foreach f ( /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/*.pfb )
#>   ./src/utils/pfbtops/pfbtops.exe $f > /dev/null
#> end

Whereas the binary delivered with the package fails:

#> foreach f ( /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/*.pfb )
#>   pfbtops $f > /dev/null
#> end
#pfbtops: first byte of packet not 0x80
#pfbtops: first byte of packet not 0x80
#...

I've configured the build with

#> ./configure --with-x --with-gnu-ld --with-libiconv-prefix --prefix=/usr

I'm not really sure what is different between the two builds, but it may have
something to do with wide char support.


Achim.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: groff-1.22.2-2

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of groff available for installation.  This is a
refresh from ftp.gnu.org.  groff pretty much builds straight out of the
box.

This release contains an extra "groff-perl" package, as promised here:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-01/msg00117.html

So this should eliminate the dependency that pulls in perl in a base
installation.

I decided not to follow Fedora's packaging exactly since Fedora also
splits out a few more groff packages and that would have potential
dependency consequences.

Groff is a document formatting system.  Groff takes standard text and
formatting commands as input and produces formatted output.  The created
documents can be shown on a display or printed on a printer.  Groff's
formatting commands allow you to specify font type and size, bold type,
italic type, the number and size of columns on a page, and more.

Groff is available in the "Text" category under setup.exe.

Thank you sir! I have now switched to Cygwin 64-bit as a result of this change!
