I'm using Windows XP in a VirtualBox to perform some tests, and use old software.
While it is possible to share the XP drive with the Linux one, and deal with the files on Linux, it's sometime convenient to have the Unix tools directly available on XP.
On XP there is an old version of Cygwin to which I'd like to add some components.
Doing setup.exe
, all the mirrors shown I tried do not have anymore the data for XP.
And the official Cygwin page does not provide any support either.
Is there a way to use another setup
and mirrors that support XP (32 bits)?
3Are you using 2.5.2? "The previous Cygwin version 2.5.2 was the last version supporting Windows XP and Server 2003." – Bob – 2016-10-06T07:19:40.147
