I recently tried to update my cygwin install and discovered I had to change
to the setup-x86.exe package for the update to work. After finishing the
update, I see that some binaries have been removed from my install. Which
g++-3 and which g77-3 now return no findings and those compilers appear to
have been removed from the package manager. There are some g77 listings
under the _obsolete category, but those are version 4.5-4.7. I very much
still need gcc3, so I would appreciate some information on how I can add it
back in.
gcc-3 and friends are desperately old and have been only grudgingly
included in the "recent" past to support building 'setup.exe'. But it's
been a while now since 'setup.exe' required gcc-3. Obviously, it is in
your interest to step away from gcc-3 as well. If you absolutely cannot do
that for some reason, check your favorite search engine for the "Cygwin
Time Machine" to take a trip back into Cygwin's past. Or generate your
own blast from the past by building gcc-3 yourself.
