For every package there might be different, even better ways to build them, but this is how I (and the other contributors) did it. If you know a better way, please share your knowledge with us. If you have built some more packages and would like me to add them to this report, please send me an email with the appropriate description. If you have any further suggestion on this report, feel free to send me an email, too. 1. *preliminaries* ============= - All the packages are original source packages you can get from many ftp servers on the net. All the changes to these packages, which are necessary to build the binaries should be documented in this report. - You should have installed and properly configured the latest Cygnus CDK - at the moment version B19 - and perhaps Sergey Okhapkin's latest coolview package (available for example - on ftp.franken.de - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/porters/Okhapkin_Sergey - as coolview.tar.gz) - I assume you know how to unpack the source packages, i.e. "tar -xvzf .tar.gz". - Get some replacement for the original "install" command, so that .exe file extensions are handled properly (see attachement 1). 2. *packages* ======== *ghostview-1.5* ------------- - system - ???
