Cygwin setup old package problem.
Hi there, I am in need to compile an old project for cygwin, but it needs some old packages to compile. I tried to download the x86 setup.exe from cygwin web site. Then downloaded the old packages from various sites and put it in an empty directory I run the setup.exe file and install from local directory where I point the directory location to that temporarily stored directory. However, the old packages are not showing. Do I have to provide my own setup.ini file? The question is if I provide this file, I need to write some scripts for it. And you need to specify some install paths, where I have no idea where to put them, and can be very error-prone. Does anyone know what a better solution is?
Thanks
Jack

If all are ./configure built with the same local prefix, a special path, they should find their files in that local/lib and local/include.
