If that is the only problem then you can get config.guess and config.sub
from the upstream:
 and replace
the one in the rxvt source.

Trying to build rxvt on Cygwin64.

[mcforum]

The source tar balls I can find of rxvt are quite old and the config.guess in 
the package doesn't recognize a win 7 x64, Cygwin64 system.  Any pointers to 
getting a x64 rxvt to build?

Website Needs Updating to Reflect x86/x64 Change

[Ethan Warth]

Although the landing page of the Cygwin website and the beginning of the
installation page have both been updated to reflect the recent separation of
Cygwin into x86 and x64 versions, there are a number of pages throughout the
deeper sections of the site that reference (and link to) the now obsolete
setup.exe file.  Accordingly, these sections contain dead links to the old
executable, and their text now contains (slightly) obsolete information.

The "General installation notes" section of the install page on the Cygwin main
site ( http://www.cygwin.com/install.html ) is one example.  A few of the
sections of the Cygwin FAQ ( http://cygwin.com/faq.html ) list the old link as
well, as does the "Internet Setup" section of the "Setting Up Cygwin"
page ( http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html ).

These are a few examples, but there are more likely than not several more.
Finding them all would probably be much easier to do on the server
side through a
recursive grep for "setup.exe" than it would be to do with only guest level
access.

(My apologies if this was already reported; I did a very cursory search on the
archives, but didn't find any previous mention of this.)

I primarily use ftp.heanet.ie, but I tried mirrors.kernel.org and a
couple random mirrors, all of them show the same problem. For example
if you look at these directories:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/cygwin/x86_64/

Then you will see setup.ini having a modification time of 03:22 GMT,
which timestamp is this file on your private mirror?

Best regards,
Alexey.

Which mirror did you try?  Did you try another mirror?  I just checked

Unable to build setup.exe

[Мальгичев Кирилл]

Hello,
I am trying to build setup.exe following instructions provided in
README file 
(http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/setup/README?cvsroot=cygwin-apps).

So, I
1. Install latest 32-bit Cygwin from http://cygwin.com/install.html on
Windows XP
2. Install all required packeges as described in README file
3. Configure (/path/to/setup/bootstrap.sh)
4. Run make and got the following error:

  CXX  Exception.o
  CXX  find.o
  CXX  FindVisitor.o

This is not a big deal to fix it - I am just change PEXECUTION_STATE
definition in ntapi.h file to PDWORD. And rerun the build from the
beginning:
1. remove all files from build directory
2. Configure (/path/to/setup/bootstrap.sh)
3. Run make and got the new error:

Did the same thing, in my case even cygwin1.dll is gone, previous
version doesn't install either. Looking into setup.ini from various
mirrors I can see that all files have size 0. This is also consistent
with setup.log which has an error like:

Download .../x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-1.7.25-1.tar.bz2 wrong size
(2708993 actual vs 0 expected)

Cygwin is currently unusable, so sad...

c++11 threading support in mingw-w64 package

[nu774]

It seems that mingw64-*-gcc-g++ package is not compiled with
--enable-pthread, that results in no c++11 threading support.
Is it intentional, or is it possible to enable it?
As far as I understand, c++11 threading support can be enabled by
libwinpthread of mingw-w64 project + gcc configuration switch.

Since libwinpthread is already included in mingw64 package, I think
--enable-pthread --enable-libstdcxx-threads --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes
will be enough to support c++11 threading.
