The cygwin SETUP.EXE accepts a comma-delimited list of packages to
install. To install cygwin and the packages listed as prerequisites on
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows#setting_up_cygwin
use this syntax:
setup.exe -P
unzip,zip,autoconf,bison,flex,gcc-gcc++,gperf,make,openssl-devel,mercurial,readline,openssl,openssh,perl,mintty,patch,gnupg,wget
This still launches the GUI and you still need to manually choose
installation paths etc, but the packages passed via command line are
pre-selected and you don't have to crawl down the big list.
Hope this info is useful, etc.
