Build instructions:
unpack cygutils-VER-REL-src.tar.bz2
if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
unpacked under /usr/src automatically
cd /usr/src
cygport ./cygutils-VER-REL.cygport all
This will create:
/usr/src/cygutils-VER-REL.tar.bz2
/usr/src/cygutils-VER-REL-src.tar.bz2
Or use 'cygport ./cygutils-VER-REL.cygport prep' to get a patched source directory
To find out the files included in the binary distribution, you can
use "cygcheck -l cygutils", or browse the listing for the appropriate version
at .

Port Notes:
---------- cygutils-1.4.4-1 -- 2010-08-15 -----------
* Fix longstanding bug in mkshortcut, in which failure was
reported even on success (Andy Koppe).
* --help, --license, --usage, and --version output now goes
to stdout instead of stderr
* Add standard command line options to cygdrop (--version,
--help, --license, --usage)
* Various internal code cleanups
---------- cygutils-1.4.2-1 -- 2009-12-28 -----------
* Add hippo icon to cygicon-0.dll.
---------- cygutils-1.4.1-2 -- 2009-12-03 -----------
* Fix bug in mkshortcut (Reported by Ken Brown; Patch by Dave Korn)
---------- cygutils-1.4.1-1 -- 2009-11-21 -----------
* Add --help option to lpr.
* Build system improvements.
* Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)
* Many of the utilities have been relicensed as GPLv3+.
* Compile using gcc4
---------- cygutils-1.4.0-1 -- 2009-05-06 -----------
* First release from cygwin-1.7-specific branch.
cygutils-1.4.0 and above require functions not present
in cygwin-1.5 and earlier. Legacy systems should use
the BRANCH_1_3_x branch tag.
* Support in cygstart for unicode arguments/filenames
(from IWAMURO Motonori).
* All applications that have a --version option now
report the package version number with uniform format.
* All code reformatted to follow (mostly) GNU standards.
---------- cygutils-1.3.4-10 -- 2009-04-22 -----------
* Fix installation bug exposed by new libtool. Reported
by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
---------- cygutils-1.3.3-10 -- 2009-04-21 -----------
* Fork for cygwin-1.7 development.
---------- cygutils-1.3.3-1 -- 2009-04-21 -----------
* cygstart now accepts -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly, Alex Smith)
* Update build infrastructure to latest autoconf, automake,
libtool, and gettext.
---------- cygutils-1.3.2-1 -- 2007-08-25 -----------
* Now installs "package" documentation in addition to typical
cygwin README.
* New "utility": the cygicons DLL provides a number of cygwin-
related icons, collected from free (as in speech) sources.
This includes the traditional black and green cygwin 'C' --
in several colors -- as well as the angular 'cygwing' icons,
the hand-rendered 'cygwinshiny' icon, and a fully
GIMPified icon from the kde-looks website.
---------- cygutils-1.3.1-1 -- 2006-12-12 -----------
* Bugfix for cygstart with new cygwin snapshots (1.5.22+)
from Michael Schaap.
* Update to latest autotools (ac-2.61, am-1.10, gt-0.15)
* Many other improvements to internal build system -- now
passes 'make distcheck'
* Switch to cygport build framework for cygwin packages
---------- cygutils-1.3.0-1 -- 2006-03-20 -----------
* Remove many programs now offered by the util-linux package
including: cal col colcrt colrm column ddate
getopt mcookie namei rename rev
---------- cygutils-1.2.10-1 -- 2006-02-10 -----------
* cygstart - properly convert environment variables to Win32
* cygstart - don't parse options listed after the command
1.2.9-1 -----------------
* fix coredump and memleak in readshortcut (cgf)
1.2.8-1 -----------------
* updates to cygstart (Michael Schaap)
* mingw compatibility for dump (Kees Zeelenberg)
1.2.7-1 -----------------
* updates to cygstart (Anthony Derosa, Michael Schaap)
* added 'rename' program (Christopher Faylor)
1.2.6-1 -----------------
* remove readlink (now provided by coreutils)
* add new --force/--safe options to conv/d2u/u2d. Change behavior
for "mixed" file; always convert line endings to desired target,
unless input file is binary (identified by presence of '\0' bytes).
1.2.5-1 -----------------
* Add new -s (startup norm|max|min mode) to mkshortcut
* Add new -d|--desc option for mkshortcut (to control the
'description' field == tooltip text)
1.2.4-1 -----------------
* Remove ipcs and ipcrm (now provided by cygwin itself)
* update ipck to work both with ipcs/ipcrm from cygwin/cygsever,
and with ipcscygipc/ipcrmcygipc from cygipc.
* Only build IPC utilities against cygserver, not cygipc
(cygipc versions now provided by the cygipc package itself)
1.2.3-1 -----------------
unreleased
1.2.2-1 -----------------
* Major rewrite of the getclip/putclip programs --
now supports --dos/--unix/--noconv modes for
translation of clips (Rob Siklos)
1.2.1-2 -----------------
* This is the cygwin-1.5.2 FLAG DAY release.
1.2.1-1 -----------------
* Update to 1.2.1 release. This is the cygwin-1.5.1 FLAG DAY
release. This package requires cygwin-1.5.1 to work.
* Moved documentation to /usr/share/*
* Because cygipc is now a DLL, we SHOULD list cygipc as
a requirement for cygutils. But, I don't really want
to do that. So I won't. It shouldn't matter, anyway: the
other progs will be fine without libcygipc, and the ipc tools
don't work if ipc-daemon2.exe isn't running. But, the
only way for ipc-daemon2.exe to run, is if libcygipc is
installed. So, we're covered.
1.2.0-1 -----------------
* Update to 1.2.0 release. This is the cygwin-1.5.0 FLAG DAY
release. This package requires cygwin-1.5.0 to work.
* Added ipc utilities, now that cygipc is part of the
official distribution. I still hope that cygipc becomes
obsolete soon, but when it does these utilities will be
compiled against the cygserver libraries instead.
- Of course, these utilities won't work properly if
ipc-daemon2.exe is not running, but as libcygipc is static
we do not need to list the cygipc package as a *requirement*
for this one.
1.1.4-2 -----------------
* Fix slight bug in lpr (gilles civario)
1.1.4-1 -----------------
* Rick Rankin provided a reimplementation of lpr.
* mkshortcut supports a new -w/--workingdir option.
1.1.3-----------------
* removed last and utmpdump (now provided by the sysvinit package)
* removed the postinstall script (only last/utmpdump needed it)
* mkshortcut now uses popt
