Just one or two questions
by Jay Pee on Friday 17/Oct/2003, @07:58

Is anyone really using KDE on Cygwin? Shame on me, but I had much trouble installing it (and it is kind of slow, of course). Unfortunately it is not as easy as installing any other cygwin package.
Why is that?

True, Cygwin is difficult too install. Why? Maybe because RedHat leads the development :-)

On the other hand, Holger Schroeder ported the Gentoo Portage system to Cygwin. It is very experimental but it does the job...

Because the cygwin installer lacks of batch processing featuer which would make is easier to integrate it into the KDE-cygwin installer.

Currently there are some discussions on the cygwin-apps list (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps) how to do this.
