hi Csaba that part of config.log is not interesting:
[..] configure:17948: result: yes configure:17957: checking for ino_t configure:17957: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 configure:17957: $? = 0 configure:17957: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 [..] I'm very puzzled. But don't run Cygwin setup in case it breaks your setup, is my thought... thanks Lloyd Wood lloyd.w...@yahoo.co.uk http://about.me/lloydwood ________________________________ From: Csaba Raduly <rcs...@gmail.com> To: Lloyd Wood <lloyd.w...@yahoo.co.uk>; cygwin list <cygwin@cygwin.com> Sent: Thursday, 8 June 2017, 5:10 Subject: Re: configure fails on checking ino_t Hi Lloyd, On Wed, Jun 7, 2017 at 8:21 AM, Lloyd Wood wrote: > download geomview 1.9.5 from http://www.geomview.org > this used to build on cygwin 32-bit.

I hope nothing, because it works for me: checking for dev_t... yes checking for ino_t... yes checking for time_t... yes checking size of dev_t... 4 checking size of ino_t... 8 checking size of time_t... 8 checking size of long... 8 checking size of int... 4 You should at least post the relevant part from config.log (the part beginning with configure:17957: checking for ino_t ).
