And that's where you went off in the wrong direction. You're writing to the Cygwin mailing, but that's the MSYS2 package repository. Those are two different environments, so you should _not_ mix up them up like that.
This is a pretty awful response. The MSYS2 part of my answer, the part OP tried is certainly possible. When Cygwin package maintainers are ignoring serious package issues for months: - http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-07/msg00055.html - http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-expat/issues/1 - http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-lua/issues/1 - http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-nghttp2/issues/1 - http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-pcre/issues/1 it is not wrong to seek a sane alternative, which this is. You certainly can mix these as in this case we are not involving the Cygwin DLL. To J (OP), if you want a real answer and not this brush off, repost your question here and I will try to work with you: http://github.com/svnpenn/glade as technically your original question has already been answered (by me), and your new issue is outside the scope of this mailing list. -- 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
