To install the last cygwin version for x86, run setup using the options '--allow-unsupported-windows option --site circa_URL', where circa_URL can be one of: * The URL for any sourceware mirror[1], followed by cygwin-archive/20221123 * http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2022/11/23/063457 Thanks to the Cygwin Time Machine for providing this archive. These instructions have also been added at [2] [1] Note that not all cygwin mirrors [3] also carry a full mirror of sourceware (but the list at [4] is believed to be sadly incomplete) [2] https://cygwin.com/install.html#unsupported [3] https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html [4] https://sourceware.org/mirrors.html > If you're using x86 Cygwin under WOW64 on a 64-bit Windows OS, please > strongly consider moving to an x86_64 Cygwin installation. > > (If you have ARM hardware, we believe that x86_64 Cygwin works > correctly using the x86_64 emulation in Windows 11) > > If you're one of the tiny percentage of Cygwin users using x86 Cygwin > on a real x86 Windows OS, don't panic!
