I don't think there's any perfect solution to this problem -- as noted there just isn't a perfect mapping between 32-bit and 64-bit packages -- but it occurs to me that you could install the cygcheck-dep package and call `cygcheck-dep -il`. That'll give you a list of just the "leaves" in the tree of installed packages and their dependencies, which may be a better starting point for what packages you need to install on your new system, since you'll automatically get all their dependencies. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
