Re: MikTeX, Ghostscript and Cygwin env


I guess that it is not a good idea to use MiKTeX under Cygwin
because MiKTeX does not behave Unix-like under Cygwin:
I have (partially) installed `teTeX' and GS6.50  directly under Cygwin
(modulo `patches'):
all is fine and I can write Makefile.

I hope it helps,
Jerome
