I have now repeated this effort installing from a different mirror and obtained
the same results (a setup.exe that is referencing _vswprintf in ntdll.dll.)
Please review the following outlining what I've done and indicate, what, if
anything, I am doing wrong, or at least differently from you and/or Corinna.
Start setup, pass through dialogs to mirror selection, select
mirror.mcs.anl.gov (previous attempt used mirrors.kernel.org), then proceed to
point of package selection, and click on primary (first/top-leve) tree item
until 'install' appears (so selecting to generally install everything.)
Proceed with installation allowing it to complete.
Following instructions on
http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html
checkout the source from cvs, and then review the readme instructions, which
instruct to use the 'bootstrap.sh' script, followed by 'make', steps which I
followed. (I have done this both in a separate directory from source, and
within the source directory, on various attempts, always with the same bad
result (_vswprintf missing).)
I have additionally attempted to use Corinna's alternate directions of the
direct ./configure --host/--target, (which I note Corinna presumably can't have
successfully done withOUT the other commands in bootstrap.sh, since there is no
configure in CVS to use without those other steps having been done, so think
her instructions as to what she did were either incomplete, or, she did _not_
actually try with a from-scratch checkout when she was examining my original
report.)
Should I provide a config.log/.status, or ?, from my efforts for review to see
what might be different from your environment(s)?
Thanks.
