Thread-topic: make install on Windows with Cygwin

Dear PARI devs,

I downloaded PARI 2.7.6 and compiled it under Cygwin (Cygwin64 on Windows7).

The make install process copy the file libpari-gmp.dll to the folder cygwin\usr\local\lib\

The problem with that is that by default cygwin does not look into this folder for DLLs.

I copied the file libpari-gmp.dll into cygwin\bin\ and the problem is solved.

Do you think it would be possible/make sense that the "installed" copy the file into the bin/ folder when using Cygwin?

Thanks a lot.

Best,

Rafael
