Perhaps, if you have a copy of windows kicking around, you might try VMware? I've even heard rumors that someone got it running under Wine.It makes some kind of sense. But I already made another vague promise (netpbm) that I haven't kept until now. This moring after reading Christopher's mail, I downloaded tetex-beta and latest sources to see if I could painlessly take over. I spent a good hour poking around, but I found that: * tetex isn't prepared for --srcdir builds (annoying) * tetex isn't prepared for cross builds (showstopper) * Jerome's Cygwin fixes have still not found their way upstream * Jerome's Cygwin patch isn't prepared for --srcdir builds So... I'll promise to take a look at it, because I really like to have a good tetex package in Cygwin. But, I can't promise to take it over yet, as I don't run Windows (and thus also no cygwin).
Thanks for all your hard work! Your points are all well put, so I completely understand where you are coming from. *Sigh* If only updating teTeX modules were as easy as updating a perl module...If I can get the beast to cross build, and get it tested, I may step forward to be the maintainer.
Pretty much all of Chuck's updates to libtool have been pushed upstream starting about a week or two ago. I believe the same can be said for the other autotools. You'll probably want to get the new gettext/iconv as well. I'd reccommend getting HEAD CVS sources of libtool and autoconf, plus the automake-1.6.2 releases.Btw: I've been putting quite some time in getting a fine guile release to cross build for Cygwin, because this has a high priority for me. But as yet I can't get a shared version linked. It seems I need the latest autotools from cygwin, but I need them as cross build tools.
