He's trying to make a cygwin package that consists of a cross compiler toolchain for targetting 64-bit windows from a cygwin host. Cygport puts some obstacles in the way for doing that. Maybe you could suggest how to get around his issues? That'd be a big help if you could shed some light on the things he mentioned. -- 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
