How to install Cygwin Binaries?

Post by luppa »

Hi!

I've been using ImageMagick programs in under Cygwin in various scripts. Now my latest cygwin update broke my ImageMagick binaries, not sure what's actually wrong, I'm using setup-x86.exe so I thing it shouln't try to install 64bit files but i dont know.

There is a i686-pc-cygwin package in http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ , and the binaries that are in there do run on my computer, but they don't find their dependencies, which are under various subfolders in the tar.gz. Trying to simply copy the files from the package to the "correct" folders (by guessing what is correct) in the cygwin system doesn't work. How do I install?
