[Enhancement] Streamline package installs and dependencies with apt-cyg in Cygwin #3

Closed signus closed 7 years ago

signus commented 9 years ago

To improve the process of using devtools to install RVM, many users may have issues with installing the necessary packages if they do not have the Cygwin 'setup-x86_64.exe' readily available.

/home/user/.rvm/scripts/functions/requirements/cygwin: line 19: setup-x86_64.exe: command not found
++ return 127
Requirements installation failed with status: 127.
ruby-2.0.0-p576 is not installed.

My suggestion would be to add support for using (and possibly installing) apt-cyg, an apt-get 'like' utility for Cygwin, that can resolve and install any dependencies efficiently.
