I have just downloaded cygwin-inst-20000304.tar.gz to update my
Cygwin(Net) installation. I normally unpack that archive into
c:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32. Previous cygwin-inst-xxxxxxxx
archives have contained i586-cygwin32 or i586-pc-cygwin32
subdirectories, but the latest version I downloaded has an
i686-pc-cygwin directory.
I have unpacked the cygwin-inst-20000304.tar.gz archive to the
c:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32 directory. Is this the correct
place for it ? Or should it go in c:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i686-cygwin32
? I initially thought that latter directory was the right place but
then I would have to change my PATH environment variable to suit, but
the bin directory would only contain the updated binaries instead of a
full distribution.
What is the best way to go. I think having the i586-pc-cygwin32 and
i686-pc-cygwin32 under the H-i586-cygwin32 directory works the best even
though it is counter intuative. Maybe I need to upgrade my cygwin
release. Is there a new Net release yet ?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Brendan Simon.
