What is the actual problem you are facing?
i already described it: when 2 things depend on each other in this way, that is an error: http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_dependency while setup.exe may account for this, it doesnt change the fact that this is not correct. ideally one should depend on the other, and *not* vice versa. in this case "gcc" should depend on "runtime", and not the other way around. the fix is pretty simple; with "mingw64-x86_64-runtime.cygport", change: REQUIRES="mingw64-x86_64-headers mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core" to REQUIRES="mingw64-x86_64-headers" compare this to "w32api-runtime.cygport": REQUIRES="w32api-headers" -- 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
