Hello,
I am currently trying to do some first steps in writing an own cygport
file in order to make a package for cygwin. Unfortunately, I did not
come very far. :(
So here is my question: Is there anything I need to to between
creating the cygport file and executing the first cygport command?
I copied the sample cygport file into the source folder (with only
changes to "Name", "Version", "Summary", "Description", etc.) and
tried to run:
ren@Thinktank ~/Sources
$ cygport Singular-4-0-0.cygport compile
upon which I got the error message:
>>> Compiling Singular-4.0.0-1
/usr/share/cygport/lib/syntax.cygpart: Zeile 136:
/home/ren/Sources/Singular-4.0.0-1/log/Singular-4.0.0-1-compile.log:
No such file or directory
Apparently cygport expects there to be some files which aren't there,
hence my first question.
best regards, Yue.
P.S.: This probably won't be my only question, as I am trying to learn
to use cygport, I hope this is the official channel to send my
questions to.
