Okay so there is no mirror that has the gettext 0.16.1
for easy install using setup.exe.
Is there some way to install that version of gettext
under cygwin?
ncftpget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.16.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf gettext-0.16.1.tar.gz
cd gettext-0.16.1
configure ## --prefix=/usr if you feel lucky
make
make install
I was told by another group to stop using cygwin
because it did not support this version of gettext.
That makes sense. Discard 2GB worth of ported software, posix support,
and a sane programming environment, because one minor library is a few
months out of date.
I think I'd reconsider any "advice" from a group capable of such, erm,
short-sighted thinking.
