What is the "requires" line? Where is it? Should binutils have been dowloaded automatically when I downloaded gcc-core? When I look under Devel in setup.exe the binaries for binutils are checked but without any download date. "which as" says "as" is not found. Can you tell me what I should have done? Did I do something wrong or is there perhaps a bug? Could it perhaps be because the downloader stalled? (Maybe because of slow download here.) When I now clicked next, without checking any new pages the downloading did continue. I believed I started setup.exe and clicked continue before, but as far as I remember right now I dod not open Devel that time. I think I can guess how this works now, but I am not quite sure and it is a bit confusing IMO. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
