Each version has gotten more strict than the last, so the error you're running into might not be present in an older release. 3.2 is still on the Cygwin download sites as the 'prev' release. This is only a temporary fix, realize. The program will have to be fixed eventually.

gcc 3.2 is available with setup.  g++, however, seems to only have 
version 3.3.1-3 available.  Is there a way to get g++ and g77 for 3.2-3?

I believe before 3.3.1 gcc was one monolithic package.  If you look at the
contents of gcc-3.2-3 at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>, you'll see that
g++ and friends are included in it.

No, gcc-2.96 was a red hat release, not a gnu release.  I never saw it 
appear on cygwin, nor any OS other than those put out by Red Hat.  Some of 
the versions were mighty buggy.

I've found that all of g++ 3.x's new warnings and errors are correct, so 
the "right" solution is to fix your program.  If it's not your program, 
I'm sure the developers would appreciate patches.

If you can't fix it, try rolling back to an earlier version in the 3.x 
line.  Each version has gotten more strict than the last, so the error 
you're running into might not be present in an older release.  3.2 is 
still on the Cygwin download sites as the 'prev' release.  This is only 
a temporary fix, realize.  The program will have to be fixed eventually.

Erick,

There was no 2.96.  The last Cygwin-specific release of gcc2 was 2.95.3-10.
If you absolutely need 2.95, I'm sure the Cygwin-specific sources are
still floating around[*], and you should be able to build from them.  It
might even work, unless you hit one of the bugs that influenced the
decision to dump it in the first place.

2.95 was the last official Cygwin release before the 3.x.x series.  So there
was no Cygwin gcc 2.96.

You're absolutely right, gcc version 3.3 does work fine. The problem I'm having 
is specific to the software I am trying to compile. The application i have 
compiles with older versions of the compiler and this is why I'm looking for 
older ones. So one last question... did v2.96 meet the same fate as v2.95? 

By the way, thanks a million for the response. You saved me several hours.
