Re: rpm-4.1 successful compile on Cygwin

There's been sporadic interest in rpm, so I thought someone might find this

I've recently succeeded in persuading rpm-4.1 to compile under Cygwin.
It was more troublesome than rpm-4.0.4, as it makes some assumptions about
the system, and doesn't bother to use configure tests to make sure.

I'm rather unsure about one particular bit of code: is writing to the
environ pointer legal?

system dependent. Dunno about whether it's legal on cygwin; I doubt it.



I thought that rpm-4.x required Berkeley db-4.x -- which has not yet been officially added to the cygwin distro. AFAIK, we have db2 and db3, but not db4. How did you satisfy that dependency?
