Current cygwin doesn't run on current ReactOS 0.4.9

[singhmonal]

The current cygwin will not run - setup says it doesn't support this version of windows and then crashes immediately after.

I can't seem to find older versions that support it, the cygwin site points to a version that runs on win 2003, but that seems to be behind a ftp server that requires a login, and on ReactOS this just downloads a zero byte file.

Anyone have a pointer to a copy of cygwin that does run on ReactOS? Looking for cygwin on ReactOS in search engines shows posts indicating that it does work.

The last version of Setup to support XP is 2.874. Copies of Setup can be found here:
32-bit: setup-x86-2.874.exe
64-bit: setup-x86_64-2.874.exe

All I have done, is a search for cygwin; I have not downloaded (my browser gave me the option to download it) and tested it, so no idea if it works.

Note: The 64 bit version will not currently work in ReactOS.

Could you do a JIRA bug report?

It is not a bug that versions of Cygwin or other software whose makers explicitly state are not supported for use with Microsoft Windows XP or Server 2003 do not run on ReactOS. Instead, it is undefined behavior.
