Problems with binary package: /usr/doc needs to be /usr/share/doc No runtime requirement on zlib Binary needs to be recompiled because there's no longer a libz.dll that it cannot load. No man pages, source does come with manpages so they should be installed.
Problems with source package: build script should be called "ploticus-2.11-1.sh" not "cygbuild-2.11-1.sh" ./ploticus-2.11-1.sh: line 402: [: -eq: unary operator expected ./ploticus-2.11-1.sh: line 402: [: -eq: unary operator expected See: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-01/msg00262.html Build script bundled with a package should not print out extraneous warnings such as: -- [WARN] Hm, there is no /tmp/cyg/ploticus-2.11/configure -- [WARN] Found only a Makefile. Nothing to do. and -- Hm, archive did not extract into directory ploticus-2.11 ... -- Renaming unpack dir plsrc211/ to ploticus-2.11 It is assumed the script for a particular package is tuned for that package and knows what to do, you could add a "debug" variable somewhere at the top of your cygbuild script. ./ploticus-2.11-1.sh all should clean up after itself and not leave a ploticus-2.11 directory around. -- Rafael
