which package  ?


Here is the deal:
I try to install a package that needs to be build
and end up with this error message (64 and 32 bit)
---
D:\Programme\cygwin64\bin\gcc.exe -mcygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Users\...
     gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mcygwin’

---
D:\Programme\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe -mcygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Users\...
     gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mcygwin’

Please help, Google returns nothing regarding that error! I feel like I am the 
only person in the world with that error :(

there was at least another one
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-06/msg00195.html

The -mno-cygwin option was removed long time ago and only available in the gcc-3.x or before

Never saw before the "-mcygwin" that I suppose was just doing
the reverse so the default in cygwin . Just try removing it.

from your output "D:\Programme\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe -mcygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Users\..." it seems that no one updated that package
 build system by very long time..
