You can download it here: http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/cygwin-xp/32/ http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/cygwin-xp/64/ You need older setup.exe (because the current setup.exe checks for Windows XP and refuses to start on it). Replace cygwin1.dll and the few *.exe files with the files from the webpage, and then it will work on Windows XP and you can update it to the latest cygwin distribution. You can get source code with git: git clone http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/cygwin-xp/.git Mikulas -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
