Hi,

What is the usual compressing tool used for setup-x86_64.exe?
I cannot use upx as it does not support x86_64 binaries.
Some suggest mpress but it is not part of cygwin packages.

Frédéric

There is no reason why it has to be.  mpress *is* used to compress the
official setup x86_64 binary.  Earnie posted a link.

I get the following error:
PE32+/x64 2544.0kB -- MPRESS: TLS callbacks are not supported in this version.

Any idea?
