Hi Yoichi,
using the package search at
http://cygwin.com/packages/
the outcome
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=libffi
suggest me 2 things:
- install libffi4
- replace obsolete gcc (version 3) with gcc4 package
as
usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/libffi.a
is part of gcc4-core
Regards
Marco
