Hi guys,
=A0
Sorry new to this.
=A0
I just installed Cygwin 1.5.25-15 using the setup program, to ultimately bu=
ild=A0a GNU radio application under Windows XP.
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/CygwinGettingStarted
=A0
This version of Cygwin installs: binutils version: 20080624-2
...=A0 (and the previous version is binutils version: 20080523-1)
=A0
Under the Windows Tips page:=A0
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/WindowsTips
=A0
There are several 'broken packages' in Cygwin which do not work when buildi=
ng the 3rd party WxPython application in GNU Radio:=20
=A0
binutils version: 20060709-1 (obsolete); causes "Permission denied" errors =
on wxPython=20
binutils version: 20080523-1; causes build errors in wxPython and Numpy=20
=A0
The "simplest workaround is to reinstall Cygwin binutils 20060817-1".=20
=A0
Sorry if this is a silly question (new to this), I know how to uninstall th=
e binutils 20080624-2 that comes with Cygwin 1.5.25-15.
...but can I use the setup routine to install previous versions of binutils=
 (such as version 20060817-1), which should be compatible with=A0the WxPyth=
on application. If I uninstall the latest binutils, how do I get the Cygwin=
 setup program to recognize the 2006 version of binutils.
=A0
Thanks for any help.
Ian
