Re: Managing packages from command line

  The next step is to install the newly built package. I try to feed my

i obviously don't have.

I use 'genini.pl' [1] to make a 'setup.ini' file. Download, and use './genini.pl --help' to see the options. You can make a small 'setup.ini' file that contains details of the one or two packages you've just made. Once you've made this file, you can point the Cygwin setup executable at the directory containing 'setup.ini' as if doing a local install.
