The instructions listed on the main page are very clear: http://cygwinports.org/
Installation: Due to limitations in Cygwin's setup.exe, you must follow these directions exactly every time you update your installation: 1. Use the current Cygwin setup.exe. 2. Launch setup.exe, and Download Without Installing from your favourite Cygwin mirror as normal. 3. Launch setup.exe again with the -X flag and choose Download Without Installing. 4. Add and select ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports (or a sourceware mirror) in the mirror list. 5. Select the packages of your choice and their dependencies and updates for download. 6. From a Cygwin shell, run this command: sed -i -e "/^setup-timestamp:/ s/ \(.*\)/ $(date +%s)/" \ "$(cygpath -u "$(cat /etc/setup/last-cache)")/ftp%3a%2f%2fsourceware.org%2fpub%2fcygwinports/setup.ini" 7. Launch setup.exe once more and Install from Local Directory Ive got a problem with the number 6 instruction however: Here is what I am getting: $ sed -i -e "/^setup-timestamp:/ s/ \(.*\)/ $(date +%s)/" "$(cygpath -u "$(cat /etc/setup/last-cache)")/ftp%3a%2f%2fsourceware.org%2fpub%2fcygwinports/setu p.ini" sed: cannot rename /cygdrive/c/temp/cygwin/ftp%3a%2f%2fsourceware.org%2fpub%2fcy gwinports//sedP3byMg: Permission denied -- Kevin Hilton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
