The "all" works as expected :-) You just verified the build process.

Ok, "prep" worked.

Good work. You did nothing wrong. The idea of Cygwin packaging is
not to "install live", but into a separate directory. The
result of installation appears inside .inst/ (as hinted briefly in
prevous message);

    /artimi/cyg-test-gt5/test-2> find .inst/ -print

This result directory is then converted into [binary] Cygwin Net
Release:

    ./gt5-1.3-1.sh package

But you don't need to do that. The shipment (URLS mentioned) included
the ready made binary package in file:

    gt5-1.3-1.tar.bz2

which you can install like any other Cygwin Net Release with:

    tar -C / -jxvf gt5-1.3-1.tar.bz2              

Hth,
