It is used by setup.exe and is provided specifically for that purpose. No other uses are supported. However, for testing purposes it does provide mingw versions of the following tools: xz.exe, xzdec.exe, lzmadec.exe, and lzmainfo.exe in addition to the libraries and headers needed for setup.exe development (these apps are installed into /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin, and not into /usr/bin). The xz package is the successor to lzma. Its command-line tools support both .lzma files and the new .xz format. The xz package provides a new runtime library: liblzma supports encoding as well as decoding, both .lzma and .xz streams. [[ compiled using mingw-gcc-4.5.2 ]] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! WARNING !!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF you are attempting to update an existing cygwin installation, which has the gcc-mingw 'add-on' packages installed (*), then you MUST upgrade the gcc-mingw packages to version 20050522-3 or newer, before installing this upgrade. Do NOT attempt to upgrade BOTH gcc-mingw and this package during the same setup.exe event. The reason for this restriction is fairly complex, and is detailed here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2011-04/msg00015.html If you are reading this announcement AFTER having messed up your cygwin installation, because you didn't follow these instructions or didn't know about them, then see the section in this message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2011-04/msg00015.html that begins with "HELP!!!" and follow the suggestions there to "fix" it. (*) gcc-mingw packages are "add-ons" to the gcc-3 compiler suite, and provide the necessary files for the -mno-cygwin mode of that compiler. ************** *** NOTE 1 *** ************** If you have installed the "missing" mingw cross compiler packages from http://cygutils.fruitbat.org/ITP/mingw-gcc/ then you need take no special action. This package will simply upgrade the cygutils.fruitbat.org one. ************** *** NOTE 2 *** ************** After upgrading all of the various mingw-packages (that is, mingw-{runtime,zlib,bzip2,xz,gpg-error,gcrypt} etc.), the following directories may be empty: /usr/include/mingw /usr/lib/mingw This is expected. Those 'gcc-3 -mno-cygwin' users who wish to continue rather than switching to the new MinGW cross compiler, may find it necessary to add -I/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include when compiling and -L/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib when linking. However, another workaround for gcc-3 users is to remove the now empty /usr/{include,lib}/mingw directories and replace them with symbolic links: rmdir /usr/include/mingw ln -fs /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include /usr/include/mingw rmdir /usr/lib/mingw ln -fs /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib /usr/lib/mingw CHANGES (since 4.999.9beta-11) ============================== o Update to 2011-May-17 git snapshot Tue May 17 12:26:28 2011 +0300 841dc1f891b48b23f84c0f0e0c86c7c4e4bdcdf5 - contains a few fixes and back-compatibility corrections, relative to the official 5.0.2 source distribution o Recompiled by, and repackaged for use with, the i686-pc-mingw32 cross compiler. o Changed the name of the DLL from mgwlzma-1.dll to liblzma-5.dll, for compatibility with mingw.org distribution (and because the upstream SONAME changed to '5', to coincide with the official non-beta release). o Upstream changes: - memory usage limits are disabled by default (use --memory=...) - XZ_DEFAULTS variable is now supported - new 'xz --list' option (use --verbose repeatedly for detailed output) - fixed memory leak - fixed encoding issue with "empty blocks" - documentation improvements - bump soname to 5.0.2 (dllname = 5) * Bump DLL package to "5" to match dllname of post-5.0 releases. * Applicatons (xz, xzdec) are now dynamically linked to liblzma-5.dll rather than statically linked. (They already requied the dynamic library libgcc_s-dw2-1.dll, so they weren't REALLY static anyway). - Also, apps no longer renamed to 'mingw-*' because they are now installed into the i686-pc-mingw32 sys-root, rather than /usr/bin. -- Charles Wilson volunteer mingw-xz maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
