    Precisely 2 Question:
    1. Is it Ok to replace delete Quartus's Cygwin installation and put a newly customized cygwin package in same default location?
    location such as
    C:\altera\13.1\quartus\bin\cygwin
    C:\altera\13.1\quartus\bin64\cygwin

    2. Is it Ok to use latest cygwin setup exe to update & install some other tools on Quartus's Cygwin installation?
    like targeting the installation locaton by:
    setup-x86.exe -R "C:\altera\13.1\quartus\bin\cygwin" -l E:\cygwin_pack_forInstall\ -v -P wget,chere,mintty,lynx - best ringtones

    "Is it OK" means... will it cause error / weird symptoms in Quartus/NiosII/Qsys during build or the built binary-outcome?

    Don't know has anybody had any study in such methods? :S


    My scenario is, me & my colleagues all installed Quartus 13.1(windows version)
    We might use NiosII shell to modify/enhance some workflow, this may need install/update some additional packages on cygwin
    But i don't want to open another cygwin shell / install another cygwin installation to accomplish such enhancement. latest comedy movies and horror movies free
    zedge ringtones, popular ringtones
    And precisely one of the problem now is I found the default installed mintty working weird. (need press twice close button to close)
    But if I update mintty, the problem is gone!
