Probably because there's a well-maintained native port of MySQL, so there's less incentive for someone to volunteer to be an official maintainer of a full cygwin mysql. Unfortunately, the good folks at mysql still ship a binary "mysqlc" that's supposedly a cygwin build of the mysql command-line tool, but it's linked against the ancient b19 (!!!), and they ship a binary cygwinb19.dll without sources in apparent violation of the GPL.. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
