Using old version of Cygwin

votes

I am trying to use the old version of 32 bit cygwin (1.7.22 - 1.7.32) which uses GCC 4.7.3 version.

Just found one (cygwin 1.7.25) but during the standard installation (running with setup-x86.exe) it shows the following errors:

The current ini file is from a newer version of setup.exe. If you have any trouble installing, please download a fresh version from "cygwin official page"

Is that old version not supported anymore and I can not chose right address from where it can download and install the needed packages?

Thanks, Arsen

I can't find a good answer. Normally what you see in the installer is what you have access to.

When you load your setup-x86.exe, get to the packages (ignore the warning), and see if you can select the version of Cygwin you need (use the search box to narrow it down). On mine I can only get a few revisions and nothing as old as you need. That being said, I do have the latest installer and can't test this for you.
