From 8b1f302dc9bcfd1de9577dc4f4b153e1b162bea5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: evandrocoan Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 16:50:32 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Deprecate the Cygwin /usr/bin/ note README.development Such change seem to break my Cygwin installation and it is not required as a installation step anymore because it was only useful when the user attempted to install `gettext` using `apt-cyg`, but now I instruct them to download the binaries directly from their website. --- README.development | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.development b/README.development index ce54f4997..7bbe38db0 100644 --- a/README.development +++ b/README.development @@ -93,9 +93,6 @@ User-contributed instructions for building using Cygwin: 1.

If the Cygwin `/usr/bin/` directory exists, move all files from `/usr/bin/` to `/bin/`. - The problem with the `/usr/bin/` is that it should not exists. Cygwin should map/mount `/bin/` - into `/usr/bin/`, i.e., they should be the same directory. 1. Download and install Python for Windows (not from Cygwin) and put `python.exe` (not `python3.exe`) on your system path. 1. Download and install pip for your Windows Python (`python -m ensurepip`). 1.
