Re: [Gm2] Installing GNU Modula2 in a Win32/Cygwin environment

[José David Moreno Juárez]

As far as I know, Cygwin keeps a centralized package repository, so I 
suppose the idea would be to submit the binaries for inclusion in the 
repository. However, I think it's not very likely that the package will be 
accepted, since it can conflict with the current gcc package.
In my opinion, the best option is to have a binary tarball available for 
download, so the user can install it wherever he or she wants 
(e.g.: /opt/gm2, ~/gm2, ...).
If you have interest in making such a tarball available, I can send it to you.

Regards.
