Subject: Cygwin x86 end-of-life instructions worked really well
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 17:27:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DB6P18901MB0055D44D1E9AA1F9303E15BBA4DE9@DB6P18901MB0055.EURP189.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)
Just to say: the instructions at
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2022-November/010810.html
work really well. I used the following single command at the Command Prompt:
"setup-x86-2.924.exe --allow-unsupported-windows
--site http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2022/11/23/063457
-P package1,package2,..,packageN"
(all on one line) to recover completely my original Cygwin32 platform
(being Base + list of required additions).
PS1: If you visit this page there is an intrusive word "option" in the instruction
.. '--allow-unsupported-windows option --site circa_URL' ..
PS2: Can't actually remember where or how I got the required executable
setup-x86-2.924.exe
