how to become a package maintainer?


hi,

I'd some more packages to be part of the official cygwin distribution (installable via setup.exe). These packages are:

libao
libogg
libvorbis
vorbis-tools
libavcodec
freetype
mplayer

i already found a freetype package by Gerrit P. Haase but it is not yet installable via setup (although Gerrit is already the Perl package maintainer as far as i know).

My current knowledge does not suffice to be abled to compile clean cygwin-builds. I get everything compiled together, but i have the following problems:

- how to install files with "make install" in another directory than root? i don't want to select all the files that belong to binary package by hand.
- how do i build DLLs? i could compile libao, libogg and libvorbis but i only get *.la and *.a files but no *.dll like i would expect. i thought that this would be managed by autoconf/configure somehow, but it isn't as it seems.
