My first and only post —
I would like to upgrade/update/switch from Cygwin32 to Cygwin64 (on Win
7x64, sp1) and I'm not so sure what all the likely pitfalls may be.
Would appreciate any pertinent advice, informational links, etc. that
experienced users may wish to share. I've searched around and pieced
together a few insights, but I would be remiss not to ask here...
TIA.

duplicate installation with the attached script
./cyg-reinstall.sh -A
sed -e "s/setup-x86/setup-x86_64/" cyg-reinstall-x86.bat >
cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat
run the "cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat" script in the same directory of
"setup-x86_64.exe"
after you can use your 32bit to copy the /home/<your_user>
and all the content of "/etc" that you have customized.
