Cygwin package?

[hashimaziz1]

Is there any chance of porting the utility as a Cygwin package? I was really looking forward to using the program to benchmark a few commands on Cygwin running on top of Windows, but it's unfortunately not yet in the Cygwin package repository, which means it would require installing a whole bunch of other, heavy dependencies to install the usual way rather than what would usually be a much simpler apt-cyg install hyperfine.

Thanks in advance.

I don't really know Cygwin and its package manager, but if somebody wants to create a package for hyperfine, I'm glad to assist.

Note that we publish native Windows builds with every release. I think these should work out of the box within a Cygwin environment?

You mean Windows binaries? There are none listed in the documentation or on the list of binaries that I can see, but also it'd be nice to have a way to install like I usually do via the command-line without involving cargo and its many dependencies, and I suspect that this would be welcome for all other Cygwin users. I ended up installing it via cargo in the end, but it took around 5GB and 2 hours' worth of chasing down the latest Windows builds and SDK, and this also means that if I uninstall the cargo package manager I would lose hyperfine. I really would rather not maintain a separate install folder outside of Cygwin.

Oops - sorry. I thought we already automatically created Windows builds for every release via Travis. We should definitely add this.
