>Description:
	Install Cygwin and whatever needed to get basic things going
	(ssh, cvs, vi, gcc, make3, ...), then try to get 
	bootstrap-pkgsrc going. See it fail.

>How-To-Repeat:
	$ cat pkgsrc.sh
	MY_HOME=$HOME/OS
	LOCALBASE=$MY_HOME/pkg
	PKG_DBDIR=$MY_HOME/db/pkg

	./bootstrap \
        	--prefix=$LOCALBASE \
        	--pkgdbdir=$PKG_DBDIR \
        	--pkgsrcdir=$MY_HOME/pkgsrc \
        	--ignore-user-check

	see it fail with unknown option "-u" to make. This comes
	from gmake adding --unix to MAKEFLAGS silently. 

>Fix:

Here is a bunch of bootstrap-pkgsrc patches to make it getting further,
based on sources from 20040310. Problem hit next after this is that
executables have a .exe suffix, which is first hit in the pax->cpio
hardlink.

Might be useful to coordinate with the winsrc project (see winsrc.sf.net).

 /me slaps his forehead for not publishing anything about it earlier :)

 I just tried pkgsrc on Cygwin, nothing serious, but I managed to put up a
 nice readme, that lists almost every package needed to use pkgsrc on it:

 	http://pkgsrc.w.lub.pl/README.Cygwin

 ... and bootstrap entry:

 	http://pkgsrc.w.lub.pl/cygwin_bootstrap

 Yes, I've thought about this.

 Perhaps pkg_add could be patched only on win32 in a such way, that it
 automatiocally tries to find .exe-named packages for bin/ and sbin/; (and
 yes, I don't care that this is not a clean fix/method - win32 is broken
 anyway, and such patch would not affect other platforms)

 Perhaps you could create binaries on cygwin *without* exe suffix (this will
 need some libtool/configure tweaks for sure)

 Another thing is, that win32 needs lib*.dll files (which go to bin/
 directory).

 Both those problems make me wonder why don't we wrap install, cp and some
 other file-installation tools in a thing, that would be also able to
 automatically create PLIST.

 Anyway, clobbering NetBSD PLISTs with ${EXE_SUFFX} for each binary entry
 doesn't seem a good idea.

 > Might be useful to coordinate with the winsrc project (see winsrc.sf.net).

 winsrc needs developers! :)

 Who exactly is "in charge" for othersrc? I've submited some QNX stuff some
 time ago, now we have Cygwin stuff - IMO as this is work in progress, it
 would be pretty okay to include the changes (unless they break anything for
 other platforms); if someone wants to continue the development in the
 future, s/he will have much easier task... (grepping list archives, querying
 PRs, downloading patches - which hopefully still are available on 3rd party
 sites... this will lead us nowhere and bring no new developers to the table).

 pkg_add is not enough by any means... it's just good to install binary
 pkgs, and all the hard work has to happen before.

 Dunno, the way it is right now, they are added with suffix.

 That might be useful in buildlink context... let's CC: Johnny.

 Indeed... Maybe we could add a hack that .exe gets added to all files in
 /bin/ and /sbin/dirs automatically, that shouldn't be too hard.
 No idea for DLL handling though.

 I have no idea who is the person to contact for the bootstrap-pkgsrc
 framework, but did forward your mail to an internal list asking whoever
 feels responsible to get back to you. Would  be a shame to duplicate
 efforts.

 BTW, Todd Vierling (tv@netbsd.org) is working on a pkgsrc port to the
 Microsoft Services for Unix (SFU), maybe talk to him too.

 Yes, that's what I thought about using "pkg_add" name :)

 PLIST.Cygwin or PLIST.win32 . DLLs in bin/ won't appear anywhere else and
 there are not too many of them.

 Hmm, maybe it would be better to create some kind of mailing list
 (pkgsrc-win32@), or I could create a discussion list using sf.net - you can
 neither browse, nor archive private corespondence...

 Well, I suggest tech-pkg@netbsd.org for the time being. This is about
 pkgsrc, after all.

 Yeah, it only exists in bootstrap-pkgsrc. Makes me wonder why we don't hit
 that on non-windows platforms.

 Cygwin actually doesn't require the .exe suffix on NT-based systems
 (Win2000+).  Try it.  Voila!  8-)

 However, gcc on Cygwin defaults to supplying .exe so that they can be run
 from the Win32 command shell (CMD.EXE/COMMAND.COM).  That part is a real
 PITA.  Perhaps a buildlink hack could remove it at link time?  Or perhaps
 "install-sh" could do so?

 It's also worth noting that ld(1) does NOT introduce the .exe suffix by
 default.  If you look at the output of "gcc -v" at link time, you'll see
 that it is introduced by the gcc frontend.  I haven't looked to see if it's
 possible to work around that crap.

I don't want to support Cygwin as it is using the Win32 subsystems which

 I think it is likely to work much better...  It is after all built out of 
 many of the same components as a Linux system, so even much of the 
 software that think that "all the world is Linux" works without 
 modification.


 > Do we want to have support for both?

 I personally do not care about Interix, but Cygwin support would have 
 helped me many times (I have never seen a Windows machine with Interix 
 installed, but there is seldom I use a Windows machine without Cgygwin...) 
 But I see no problem having both in pkgsrc.

 I do not understand your comment.  What problems are there with 
 "consecutive dots in filenames etc."?  AFAIK, the only real problem is 
 that the filesystem is case-insensitive... (but doesn't that problem exist 
 for Interix too?)

 Hi,

    I succeeded to bootstrap pkgsrc on Cygwin with recent pkgsrc-current
 source.  (At least, I could build some packages such as editors/emacs)

    The patch is at

 To clarify, that was in response to some private mail that I thought
