If you don't use any of the automatisms and special features described in the cygport manual's postinstall section, I guess you either have to install the script in your install rule, or you have to install it manually from the src_install section (uhm... :}). A doexe command should do it, I think. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
