Re: latest GCC under XP

Have you actually visited the main cygwin site at:
www.cygwin.com

Download the cygwin SETUP.EXE program, place it in a directory where you wish to store the setup packages, and run it.
* Select to download and install from the internet.
* Choose a directory to install cygwin into.
* Select a mirror site and then Setup will download a categorised list of files.
* Inside this list you will find precompiled cygwin versions of gcc, gdb, etc. (under the 'Devel' category). Make sure they are selected to install.
* Inside this list you will also find the latest cygwin dll.
(under the 'Base' category).
* You can just leave the default installation or customise it further.

I am running cygwin under W2k and have no problems, are there supposed to be some compatibility issues with WXP?

Bye.

I found this into using google.

Systemc/Cygwin
-------------------
Lars Munch have made at Cygwin installation which contain systemC. Cygwin is a Linux environment under Windows. The installation also contain XEmacs and WMaker. Lars Munch is a Research assistant in the department of Informatics and Mathematical Modeling on Technical University of Denmark

But when I followed the link "http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~lmc" this is what I discovered:

Lars Munch Christensen
---------------------------
Since I have left my job at IMM, this page is no longer maintained. You can contact me at "lars-(@)-segv.dk".

So I suggest you email him and see if this address is still valid, and ask him if his port is still available somewhere on the internet.

Bye.

I'm using MinGW(gcc and other programs) on XP. Is very good. Visit https://www.mingw.org.
