For exactly one particular purpose I still use 32-bit Cygwin. Can I confirm that the appropriate setup exe file, with qualifiers, is setup-x86_32.exe--allow-unsupported-windows --site http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2022/11/23/063457and that the exe file is v.2.931 md5sum f16028c684f3cf30ebeb08ca5fc2e51d? (Just seems odd that the exe file was updated so recently, way after Nov 2022, not much earlier than the current setup-x86_64.exe at v.2.932.) Thank you!
The automation currently still produces both 32-bit and 64-bit installers when we update setup.
(although this probably will change, eventually)
PS Also, can't remember where I got the 32-bit setup file from, or anywhere on the Cygwin website where I would get it .. .. probably not looking in the right place.
Start at https://cygwin.com/install.html#unsupported Scroll down to "A note about 32-bit Cygwin" and follow the links.
Also, a visit to the Time Machine site cited above suggests the relevant setup file is v.2.923 (i.e. older) .. and which incidentally I also cannot locate!
The version of setup you use doesn't really matter (modulo bugs in setup and/or the very rare occasions when the MinGW runtime it's linked with changes the minimum Windows version it runs on (which is why a different installer is suggested for <XP SP2)).
