I've tried downloading the libraries listed at
http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/
Various Binaries and Libraries
I've discovered that the "png-1.0.3.exe" (PNG
libraries. A requirement for building XEmacs) does not
include a DLL.
That's because the libraries are in the cygwin installation.
These libraries aren't in the CygWin installation
posted at
www.cygwin.com either. It would make sense
Well, I built the binaries using just the cygwin installation
so they must be there somewhere. When you run setup.exe take
a look under "Graphics" you should find all the required
libraries there. The change is that cygwin used to install
these by default but now it doesn't.
to have one archive with all of the required libraries
for CygWin, with the appropriate names.
For example, I had to download the xpm-3.4k.exe and
rename the libary to the name used in the
"netinstaller" build. Why not just include these
libaries as a package in the netinstaller archive for
CygWin.
Because you need other things out of the cygwin distribution
like cygwin itself and ftp etc. We don't want to be in the
business of repackaging all the cygwin software.
I've wasted a lot of time just figuring this stuff
out. We need a decent readme file.
This much is true. Also it might be possible to detect in the
netinstaller whether you have the appropriate libraries
installed.
