Hi All! I've create packages for Paul Mattes's 3270 emulator suite. These are terminal emulators for accessing mainframe systems. This suite is popular with a lot of mainframers who use unix workstations, and since I use Cygwin so much, as well as mainframes, I thought it worth while to build it under Cygwin. I build this for our unix systems at work already, so I'm willing to be the maintainer for Cygwin (otherwise I wouldn't have put so much effort into creating a build process 8-P).
The source is organized such that there are 5 individual products, all grouped together (all of which are a variation on a theme): c3270, pr3287, s3270, tcl3270 and x3270 To that end, I've packaged each product in an individual package with a common dependent package (suite3270-common) containing things which are common to all the individual packages, and a super package (suite3270) which pulls them all together, for a total of 7 packages. This way, a user can install just the emulator(s) they want, or all of them. The source is actually kept with the super package and everything is built from it. This helps maintain the spirit of the original source distribution. All have been built with cygwin 1.5.4. Here are the setup.hint files: http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/setup.hint.suite3270 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/setup.hint.suite3270-common http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/setup.hint.c3270 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/setup.hint.pr3287 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/setup.hint.s3270 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/setup.hint.tcl3270 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/setup.hint.x3270 Here are the source and binary packages: http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/suite3270-3.2.20-1-src.tar.bz2 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/suite3270-3.2.20-1.tar.bz2 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/suite3270-common-3.2.20-1.tar.bz2 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/c3270-3.2.20-1.tar.bz2 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/pr3287-3.2.20-1.tar.bz2 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/s3270-3.2.20-1.tar.bz2 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/tcl3270-3.2.20-1.tar.bz2 http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/suite3270/x3270-3.2.20-1.tar.bz2 BTW, as I said above, the source is kept in one package (suite3270-3.2.20-1-src.tar.bz2), from which all of the other packages are build. I've specified in each of the setup.hint files (but not the super package) that they refer to an external package for their source. Hopefully I got this right (tried to follow the Cygwin guidelines on this), but it could still be wrong. Please correct me where needed.
