cygcheck -c

You can also have a look in /etc/setup.

And you would do that rather than use the tool designed for providing the information, because...?

To answer the question: "Which package brought in this file?" as in:


$ cd /etc/setup
$ str=gcc.exe
$ for pkg in *.gz; do
>   zcat $pkg | grep -q $str
>   if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
>     echo $str appears in $pkg
>   fi
> done
