Thanks Jeremy. I like to try the patches. But I get the source from
svn rather than the git as Yaakov suggested. Actually, I am not so
well understand the page
"http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/ports;a=tree;f=graphics/graphviz",
How should I get files from there? If I click on the file, I will be
just bring into another web page with file source shown with line
numbers.
Another question is, what patches I should apply? Only the 2.26.* or
the all other 2.*.* patches? Thanks a lot.
