I followed the instructions as shown here: " If you are reading this announcement AFTER having messed up your cygwin installation, because you didn't follow these instructions or didn't know about them, then see the section in this message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2011-04/msg00015.html that begins with "HELP!!!" and follow the suggestions there to "fix" it." I remove the mingw packages and documented in the above message and checked the directory structure. I then installed just the commpiler packages it instructs to do and then step 5 says: "5) Now, let's check: look in /usr/i686-pc-mingw32 There should be three *directories* -- not symlinks -- present: bin include lib Assuming that is the case, NOW you can install some additional packages... " The /usr/i686-pc-mingw32 directory structure on my machine is different than documented above. Within /usr/i686-pc-mingw32 I have: bin lib sys-root and within sys-root I have mingw within mingw I find bin include lib share I wanted to verify this setup and check if I understood step 5 correctly and is step 5 incorrect or is my install still not right.
