cygport is not a package manager.  It is a package *creator*, only.

“cygport install” is basically a wrapper around “make install” in your build tree.  Because cygport was supposed to set up the build system to install into a private installation tree underneath your cygport build tree, the resulting files won’t end up in /usr/bin and such.  They’ll be in a subdirectory of the one containing the *.cygport file.

After “cygport install” say “cygport package” to create the tarball.

Then:

    $ tar tvf package.tar.xz
    (check that it looks sane)
    $ cd /
    $ tar xvf /path/to/package.tar.xz
    (use package; is everything fine?)

Finally, submit ITP message per http://cygwin.com/setup.html
