Re: compiling Zip 5.41 trouble - duplicate member `X_flag'


Chris --
  In this particular case, the -f win32/Makefile.gcc is -- well, not
exactly 'correct' -- but OK.  There was a discussion about zip/unzip and
win32 on the list last May (see these thread branches -- folks kept
changing the message title, so the archive threads are all messed up)

Thread that started it all:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00782.html & thread

Short version:
CygUtils zip/unzip history:
  1998  zip-2.2 / unzip-5.31 built as unix apps, with internal unix
designators on .zip files thus produces

  11/99 after tip from Cosmin Truta, rebuilt zip-2.3 / unzip-5.41 so
that .zip files produced are 'windows' designators (this stores NTFS
properties in the archive).  We *thought* that would be better since
NTSEC stores permissions in the NTFS props. 

  5/00 after the above discussion, it turned out that we were trying to
do the cygwin1.dll's work FOR it.  If you just store unix perms in the
archive, cygwin1.dll will translate those into NTFS/NTSEC properties. 
So, we decided that  the *next* cygutils (or official) version of
zip/unzip would go back to 'unixoid' building.

But I haven't generated the *next* version of zip/unzip yet.  I've been
concentrating on libraries and dll's for the last six months or so.  As
I mentioned in my most recent cygutils announcement
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00130.html), I plan to do
zip/unzip that fairly soon -- I've mostly finished dll-izing the
libraries I care about.
