Installation Clarification

[Nageshwara rao M]

Respected sir/madam,

I want to know how to INSTALL C compiler of lower version on
current release of CYGWIN,which I have recently downloaded and installed 
from cygwin site.

Currently installed CYGWIN details :
VERSION: CYGWIN 1.3.x
COMPILER: gcc - 3.3.1

My Requirement:
To install lower version of C compiler,details
COMPILER:gcc - 2.95.3

Are they any options in the setup.exe to add packages
apart from the list of packages existing in setup.exe.

I am in the process of installing Speech tools for TTS
which requires only C compiler of Version gcc - 2.95.3

please help me out.

gcc 2.95.3 was removed last year.
Several people on the Cygwin list complained that it was making a lot of
errors, so Chris removed it.
Read up on GCC 3.3.1, and see if you can make your progect work with it,
else find an old mirror that has the binary code for 2.95.3.

M Nageshwara Rao,

Installing an older version of gcc on the current version of Cygwin is 
not supported.

However, that discussion is off-topic for this mailing list and should 
be sent to cygwin@cygwin.com.  I warn you though, that they are simply 
going to tell you that this is unsupported.
