( at first, I get the digest version of the messages, so I canīt reply in the thread :-( ) I did a complete download at 2003-11-29, with which I encountered the problems with the "__getreent missing" messages of the G++ compiler and other tools. So I beg your pardon, that I reported this expericence so "lately". Now with download of 2004-01-24, at least G++ is running, so my problem is particially solved. I did not check the other packages. The "only" useful update technology for me as Windows users, is to use WS_FTP by doing a recursive directory download, so that just "new" files ( not yet existing on my local computer) were downloaded, PLUS setup.bz2. Due to this process, I realize: gcc/gccg++/ does not contain updated files since 2003-10. So the "critical" "bad" component is probably cygwin/cygwin-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2 !!!!! If I am right, note that cygwin/cygwin-1.5.6.1.tar.bz2 is of 2004-01-19, so that my posting is just "superfluous" since a few days. ****** I just would like to advice other newbies and experts, IF they run into such problems, to post it here in the list ! **** Thanks to "Homar Simpson" for support and agreeing to my message in this mailing list. But I canīt agree with his conclusion > In my opinion, not all binary packages wasn't recompiled with the newest > cygwin1.dll, so the problems with missing entrypoints only can solved with > recompiling hole. as with the same-old GCC, but with new cygwin base package, G++ works now ! > This problems was reporting from me last quarter '03 - i think september, > shortly after released > cygwin 1.5. Exactly, so cygwin/cygwin-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2 is the bad package, from my point of view. As some of the packages of 2003-11 were running, like GCC, but some like G++ NOT, Might the team consider to delete or ??update?? the "critical" components from the FTP download, so that nobody is mislead to download and use a corrupt release of cygwin-1.5.5.1.tar.bz2 ? As I am a newbie, I donīt know about the practice and rules with this project. Anyhow, cygwin/cygwin-1.5.6.1.tar.bz2 is a working solution !
