Question : install alpine in cygwin
Answered by : alive-albatross-itvx9u533lf1
# In CygWin Terminal type
wget http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/release/src/alpine-2.21.tar.xz
# Then build the package
git clone https://repo.or.cz/alpine.git
cd alpine
./configure --help
./configure --with-passfile=.pine-passfile
# errors caused by dependecies are expected so
# extra steps (in case of bugs) (those are dependencies, if not installed please use:
$ apt-cyg install libssl1.0-devel openssl-devel
$ ./configure --with-passfile=.pine-passfile
$ make
$ apt-cyg install libcrypt-devel libgcrypt-devel libmcrypt-devel
# (after the extra steps alpine shall work fine)
