You need to install gcc-3 to use the "-mno-cygwin" flag (i.e. compile
'setup.exe').


How do I install gcc-3?


I cannot find it via setup either in current or previous or experimental.

Sorry. You're looking for 'gcc' and friends.


<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=gcc-3>

The new version of the compiler is packaged as 'gcc4', though this is
the default, which is why setup won't compile unless you install
'gcc'.  Don't forget to specify 'gcc-3' to setup's configure, so you
don't end up with 'gcc' which points to 'gcc-4' by default.
