I'm new on Cygwin environment and I'm wondering if it's possible to "link" a package that's already stored on my hard-drive, but it's out from the default Cygwin folder. I'll be more precise: My Cygwin environment is in C:\dev\cygwin, I need to manually install a particular version of a package that's not available in the default remote repository, for example libgimp2.0-dev (version 2.6.0)
You can access paths that aren't under the Cygwin root directory (C:\dev\cygiwn in your case) using the '/cygdrive' path from Cygwin shells. See the section about cygdrive in the Users Guide for more details: <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#cygdrive> -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
