Subject: RE: make is missing

This brings up a point that has not been brought up in a day or two.  If you
run across
something....like make, or gcc, or Perl that seems like it should be there,
the first place
to go is back to setup (not to the mailing list).  Run setup, click open all
the categories
and have a look.  Many times what you want is there but was not selected.
This process
also results in your seeing stuff that you didn't even know was available!
Cool stuff like
gsl, the Gnu Scientific Library.

If you wonder why certain things are not selected by default, understand
that the Cygwin
folks have to draw a balance between having a lot of things in default,
which means a
big download size (and a burden on non-broadband users) and a small download
(that
leads to periodic reactions of why is such and such not in there by
default).
