| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | YES, I've successfully bootstrapped Gentoo Prefix in Cygwin! |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Once you've installed a normal Cygwin instance from https://cygwin.com/, just |
| 6 | follow the general bootstrap process https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Please note that the upstream cygwin1.dll still lacks some patches to properly |
| 9 | support in-cygwin package management, but the bootstrap process will guide you |
| 10 | to build your own cygwin1.dll for now. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | For convenience, you eventually can find such a prebuilt cygwin1.dll here: |
| 13 | http://dev.gentoo.org/~haubi/cygwin-gentoo/ |
| 14 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 | NOTE: With you own cygwin1.dll in place, please do not report any problems to |
| 17 | upstream Cygwin any more, but to Gentoo instead - like https://bugs.gentoo.org/ |
| 18 | |

| 20 | Please test and enjoy! |
