Builds fine from source.
The minimal requires line should be:
requires: cygwin glib2 libncurses8 openssl perl
There are other packaging bugs:
a.) /etc/irssi.conf should go to /etc/defaults/etc/irssi.conf and copied to
/etc via a postinstall script.
b.) /usr/lib/irssi/modules is empty
c.) The contents of /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/perllocal.pod should be
appended to the system /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/perllocal.pod
d.) The various .packlist files below /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/auto contain
the DESTDIR directory prepended to the filenames
I would recommend switching to the cygport build framework. cygport
usually takes care of a.), c.) and maybe d.)
