I just installed 64-bit Cygwin on Win7, and noticed that
/usr/bin/lockfile is missing in my installation.
Does anyone else have this problem, or is it a problem with my
installation? If the latter, what package should I reinstall in an
attempt to get lockfile installed?
As always, you can find what package something is in by searching for it
here:
<http://cygwin.com/packages/>
In the case of lockfile, you can see the results here:
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=usr%2Fbin%2Flockfile>
However note that, currently, this only searches the 32-bit version of
Cygwin. Some packages are still missing from the 64-bit version.
The fact that some packages don't exist yet for 64-bit is something
that does deserve highlighting. Of course, whether or not the package
actually exists for 64-bit, the package search will tell you if it
exists in the 32-bit world, so at least one knows what to look for.
In this particular case, I did go looking to see if 'procmail' was
already available for 64-bit. As it turns out, it is.
