The current version on site is 1.5.12 and I believe the= latest is 1.7.9-1. Cygwin is a 32-bit dll. So all cygwin apps are necessarily 32-bit apps. And that isn't going to change without a LOT of porting effort. Patches welcome. But in the meantime, you'll save yourself a LOT of effort by using pre-built 32-bit cygwin binaries on 64-bit W7, rather than trying to rebuild everything from scratch, and instead you should focus your efforts on helping improve cygwin1.dll to be useful as a 64-bit dll. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enigB029615C0476E13F2384F504 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-length: 619 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJNxBSJAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqSQIH/3lM8EjSwszr5mIuKDmxiVNW djd8B1x31NfjDWAA7NxHCo7hKJWv59WNvi9AtV8veedNr9qaolttmtusPlHepGv9 BHfER3mmo/MF7dQH8aRvp3xBlBXA9JwPKRzerhUkeLV2Rxp/0rB6VNQBPFcIJ+P/ 94hxtad8GyZnslrDmLwZo3lRud9rqErhPN0RU3NqMFlddmbzVFcX1JH75zgCO0Sy YeJUO/g3Zg2tvXdBahM8QTsSgvWFzyxGhtJMTLj5vgvj7DMMzIh/evKqcQ9/9gHv d5kFNskFB5zBoLOiMxRwNMz79Qxye5mDsxNJXF7EbLKfgnD9P2Y0QZQ36MOBv8I= =Vdx4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB029615C0476E13F2384F504--
