Right. It was just the w32api-headers and w32api-runtime packages for x86_64 Cygwin. I didn't test it, but the new cygport file should also work for the 32 bit version, btw. > Anyway, I'm working on the new mingw-w64 cross compilers that uses > winpthreads instead of pthreads-win32, do voice out if there are any > concerns. I don't think anything speaks against doing that. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
