Since I plan to keep my packages for 1.5 up to date [*] until 1.7 is released, it's easier for me to keep them the same... [*] ESPECIALLY the autotools. Until VERY recently, the whole "failed to remap" problem has been much much worse (mostly just for ME, apparently) under pickone(cygwin-1.7|Vista) -- which made autoreconf...tricky. So my fallback has been to do the autoreconf step on cyg1.5 when necessary, which is only possible if both autotoolchains are identical. This may soon be a moot point, once Corinna's/cgf's fix for the issue gets in to cygwin-1.7.0-49 or so. Until then, I'll be hacking my cygport-0.4.x on cygwin-1.5 to also use -V for precisely this reason. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
