I discovered today that not all packages have been indexed by Google. For example the 64-bit "gcc-core" which provides "gcc.exe" http://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/gcc-core This search http://google.com/search?q=%22installed+binaries%22+%22usr%2Fbin%2Fgcc.exe%22+x86_64 currently only yields the "gcc-debuginfo" package. |

apt-cyg
apt-cyg is a Cygwin package manager. It includes a command-line installer for Cygwin which cooperates with Cygwin Setup and uses the same repository. The syntax is similar to apt-get. Usage examples:
apt-cyg install <package names>
to install packagesapt-cyg remove <package names>
to remove packagesapt-cyg update
to update setup.iniapt-cyg list [pattern(s)]
to list packages matching given pattern. If no pattern is given, list all installed packages.apt-cyg show <pattern(s)>
to show packages matching patternsapt-cyg search <commands or files>
to locate parent packages
Quick start
apt-cyg is a simple script. Once you have a copy, make it executable:
chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg
Optionally place apt-cyg in a bin/ folder on your path.
Then use apt-cyg, for example:
apt-cyg install nano
