Cygwin installer with *clean* uninstall support

[totoymola]

This is a little embarassing.. I do not have time to make my own, so I am going to ask this.. Has anyone repackaged Cygwin with clean uninstaller? It's original installer is whack.

why use cgywin when you can use mingw and msys. They are true windows command programs that allow you to compile like on linux but do not require you to distribute a dll with your exe's etc. It is a port of the gnu tools rather than a translation layer.

It easy to use and easy to set up a clean install/uninstaller. If you want one ill make one for you but i suggest you look at it first.

Thanks for the tip phkninja. Never heard of it, but I will definitely check it out. I am new to Linux and I only use Cygwin for practicing bash.

Cygwin is good for running kde or gnome in windows , that about all I would use it for..

yes I know these posts are old but I felt like posting anyway I would like a installer I could use with nlite to get kde or gnome up and running with a default install on windows that would be nice, their installer sucks that cygwin puts out
