I recently tried to update my cygwin install and discovered I had to change to the setup-x86.exe package for the update to work. After finishing the update, I see that some binaries have been removed from my install. Which g++-3 and which g77-3 now return no findings and those compilers appear to have been removed from the package manager. There are some g77 listings under the _obsolete category, but those are version 4.5-4.7. I very much still need gcc3, so I would appreciate some information on how I can add it back in.
gcc-3 and friends are desperately old and have been only grudgingly included in the "recent" past to support building 'setup.exe'. But it's been a while now since 'setup.exe' required gcc-3. Obviously, it is in your interest to step away from gcc-3 as well. If you absolutely cannot do that for some reason, check your favorite search engine for the "Cygwin Time Machine" to take a trip back into Cygwin's past. Or generate your own blast from the past by building gcc-3 yourself. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
