I'm attempting to remove texlive because it's existence makes it impossible
to completely remove X Windows components. I've manually ensured that all
things dependent on it have been marked for uninstall. It ends up in a
catch 22 style circular, self-reference problem. I don't know what
percentage of cygwinidos use teX stuff, but it MUST be a serious minority.
Could someone come up with a solvent for this teXSuperGlue?
something like this will build a batch file to remove all texlive* packages
$ cygcheck -cd | grep "texlive" | awk 'BEGIN { printf ("setup-x86.exe
-q ")} {printf( "-x " $1 " ") }END { printf "\r\n pause "}' >
remove-texlive.bat
use it in the same directory of setup-x86.exe (or setup-x86_64.exe)
