I've just set up a Cygwin64 system. It seems I can run a 32bit Cygwin in parallel without disturbing anything, is that right?
Yes.
Anyway, I've tried to compile a few packages, but cygport gives me grief: it somehow doesn't pick up the version and release from new-style cygport files and defines P == PN == PV etc. I'll look into this later, but I thought I mention it here in case it indicates some problem with the installation.
I recall something like this happening when I first switched to the new-style cygport files. The problem turned out to be that I wasn't giving the full name of the cygport file in the command line. If your file is `foo.cygport', you have to type
cygport foo.cygport ... You can't omit the `.cygport' suffix. Ken
