setup from a list of packages rather than interactive selection?

2010-12-10 Thread Lee D. Rothstein

I vaguely remember a discussion, here, about how to install using
'setup.exe' from a list of packages contained in a file which is
then pointed to on the command line. I see the '-p' option in
'setup', and although I know how to put the list ('Pkg_List.txt')
after the -p in bash (i.e. '-p \$(cat Pkg_List.txt)\), I don't know
how to do this in 'cmd.exe'.

I've tried Googling, but to no avail.

I've also tried using the '-d' option in 'cygcheck' to create the
list for my current configuration, but that doesn't seem to work.
I've tried Googling on this issue, as well, also to no avail.

I think I remember what you're talking about.  Will it work with '-p
@Pkg_List.txt'?  I want to think that the @ hack is not a feature of cmd
but rather of the Cygwin DLL, but maybe setup respects it as well.  I
don't have a Windows system at hand to try this myself.
