Can someone help this person out? I was under the impression that some
(all?) of these packages were related to X. Is that true?
If so, we currently don't have a method available for downloading X
apps and I don't think it makes sense to make X part of the default
installation.

Subject: adding optional packages
Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 14:58:04 -0600 (CST)
Hello,
Besides the fact that Cygwin is freely availible, regularily
updated and easy to install. The thing I like most is that it comes with
so many optional packages: libtiff, zlib, jpeg, ssh etc.. precompiled and
installed! Getting even a comercial compiler installed with all these
optional packages would take a modest amount of effort.
So my question is: What does it take to add an optional package to
cygwin?
Is this up to an individual or is there a set of instructions one can
follow? The reason is that I would like to add the following packages that
compile OOTB:
-fftw
-wxwindows
-gsl
I would be happy to do the work if instructed.
Vince
