It isn't any more. Cygwin unfortunately only releases the last two versions of the DLL. This is causing us problems right now as both cygwin 1.3.19 and 1.3.20 have significant problems (in fact two in 1.3.20, one of which is easily corrected and has already been reported on the cygwin lists, and the other is still being investigated).


I don't see any problem reports from you in the cygwin mailing list wrt
1.3.20.

Indeed. The last time I reported problems about cygwin there I was a) told to report it somewhere else, because I wasn't sure where the problem originated; and b) told some of the problems must be brokenness in my installation. So to prevent a reoccurence in future, I (well, Bart actually in this case) are unlikely to be reporting any problems in future to the cygwin list unless and until we have a full bug report and fix already prepared. Of course, this may mean the report is delayed.


What are these issues you are referring to?

The "easily corrected" one is: <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01781.html> or <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00958.html> or several other posts, the "fix" being to do the chmod in /usr/bin. This only affects existing cygwin users that upgrade AFAIK.


The second problem is an internal compiler error on Windows 98 with an i386-elf-gcc that we have built that works fine on NT/W2K and cygwin 1.3.19 [1]. We haven't finished investigating this.

1.3.18 appears to work for us in all cases, but isn't available for download any more.

Jifl
[1] But we can't use 1.3.19 because of that required vasprintf fix for using GDB.
