Just as the person below noted that the latest version of gettext, 0.17 was needed, I found myself also needing it. I expect that more and more newer versions and updates will be requiring it.
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-03/msg00220.html The current cygwin gettext package is over two years old. The below cygwin archive gives an explanation for this. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-02/msg00359.html My question is the usage of "cygport" really required to be used. I certainly feel that it should not be required and it has certainly appeared to hamper a lot of progress in maintenance and updates of existing packages. It is a tool, best know by its developer, but it is merely a tool and should not be a required one. Cygwin already has a specification for packages, the only requirement should be that a package meets that specification, not how it was accomplished. It would be great to allow that freedom and then we can get a latest update of gettext and all would be happy. This is my understanding. Please comment on the "required use" of cygport. And who said it is required and why.
