A few other problems / confusions cropped up along the way so it might be helpful to others if the instructions can be clarified. Otherwise, you'll probably keep getting asked these same questions, namely:- 1) Regarding the long shell command, is this a *one-time* process or do you have to run that command each time you want to install from the cygwin-ports download? (the reason I'm asking this will become clear in #5). 2) Should one include the backslash at the end of the first line or is that merely to indicate a line break? 3) If it's to be included, should there be any whitespace between it and the following quotation mark? 4) When the long command gets run, should the user see anything in his console? In my case, after hitting 'Enter' I was returned to the command prompt without any indication of whether the command succeeded or failed. 5) Although I selected 'libsndfile; and 'jack-audio-connection-kit', only libsndfile got installed. This morning I've tried again to install jack by clicking on all the options, including the devel versions and libjack0. I click the Src and Bin fields, where appropriate and the installer tells me that XXX Mb will be installed. It even goes through the motions - but jack never gets installed. I didn't run the long shell command again. Should I have done?
