Also, it’s a real pain to install old compilers in cygwin. You basically have to compile them yourself. They really don’t want you to do it. On Mar 21, 2015, at 3:44 PM, Joshua Pettus <address@hidden> wrote:

The winboard/makefile.gcc file suggests that it can be cross-compiled, yet
it's clearly not received any love for sometime, since there's calls to
-mno-cygwin which have been deprecated options to GCC---and in more recent
versions have been completely removed (hence 'make -f makefile.gcc' now
errors out).
The WinBoard binary that I distribute is compiled by gcc 3.4.4 for that reason.
Newer versions indeed did not seem to work, and I never could figure out how to
produce a native Windows binary with those. So I stuck to 3.4.4, which does the job fine
My understanding, the reason -mno-cygwin was removed because you can install the
mingw gcc compilers instead, which basically do the same thing. Only when I tried it a couple days ago, it got hung up on wbres.o
something about not recognizing the file type, which is strange…
