Oh, and not that it really matters, but the message box you got is because by installing everything, you included the avahi package, and setuo.exe is telling you that unless you do not also have a third-party Apple package installed (Bonjour) it isnât going to do anything useful.
But you donât actually *want* Avahi, so its error message is confusing and annoying, because you arenât going to actually do anything about it.
This is why you donât go telling Cygwin to install *everything*. You donât want everything.
