Re: Proposing TCM as a cygwin package


Thank you, Pierre and Igor.

But: can I put something like "xfig" into my setup.hint and setup.exe will find it? The package search finds lots of TeX-stuff when searching for xfig, but not xfig itself.

BTW: transfig 3.2.4 compiles without errors, but with some warnings.

Best Regards,
Daniel

Anyone willing to become maintainer of fig2dev? :-)

FYI, fig2dev is part of the xfig package. I have that installed.
Browsing through my setup.log indicates that the binary package for
xfig-3.2.3d (as well as the source) is available from
<ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/local/hsh/win32/Software/Cygwin/>. Googling also
results in <http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/V1.1/>.
AFAIR, xfig also compiles OOTB on Cygwin. The latest xfig is 3.2.4
(released on 12/19/2002, for a list of new features see
<http://www.xfig.org/userman/new_features.html>).

Right, that's why I got involved with cygwin in the first place, way back then.

It's also listed in http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ported-software.html,
but the correct link is ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/V1.1

I haven't had time to compile 3.2.4 and make sure no incompatibilities
have crept in, but I will eventually get to it.

Pierre
