However, it did not fix the problem for "-mno-cygwin" compile option specifying to link with the mingw libraries, and the now old, mingw specific, libstdc++.a. So, I need to upgrade my gcc-mingw-* packages to fix the problem, however they have not been updated to the latest version in the package repositories. Could someone please upload matching gcc-mingw-* packages that contain the fix applied to 3.4.4-2? Updated binary packages is of course the ideal. In the mean time, I attempted to build updated packages myself, however I found that the gcc-mingw-g++-20050522-1-src.tar.bz2 package does not meet the source package description described here: http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents As the supposed source tarball inside it does not contain source files. It only contains executables, libraries, and headers. It also contains an un-usable configure script, and no build script. This may be ignorance on my part as I've never built a cygwin package from source before, but I could not get it to do much with the files provided. I've given up now that I need to download the proper gcc-g++ source package, apply the same patch applied to cygwin's 3.4.4-2 version, and attempt to compile it for gcc-mingw. -J _________________________________________________________________ Search—Your way, your world, right now! http://imagine-windowslive.com/minisites/searchlaunch/?locale=en-us&FORM=WLMTAG -- 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/
