Dear developers, I tried to install MinGW, but there seems to be a file that is corrupted. In particular, I am not able to open or extract the Windows API 3.13 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20API%20for%20MS-Windows/Current%20Release_%20w32api-3.13/w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz/download The other download files seem to work fine; it is only this one that gives trouble. Could you check?

Here's the md5sum of the copy I've been using successfully: a50fff6bc1e1542451722e2650cb53b4 *w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz Using the link you gave, I downloaded a fresh copy. It has the same md5sum. I was able to extract it with this command: $tar --extract --keep-old-files --gzip --file=w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz even with rather old versions of those programs: $gzip --version 2>&1 |head -1 gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93) $tar --version |head -1 tar (GNU tar) 1.13.19 |

I should have mentioned the direct link and the mirror, garr.it in Bologna. This indeed seems to be the problem; the copy worked when downloaded from a different mirror. The garr.it copy still doesn't do it. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/MinGW%20API%20for%20MS-Windows/Current%20Release_%20w32api-3.13/w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz?use_mirror=garr Kind regards, Marco 2009/9/14 Greg Chicares <gch...@sb...> > On 2009-09-14 03:13Z, Marco van der Leij wrote: > > > > I tried to install MinGW, but there seems to be a file that is corrupted. > In > > particular, I am not able to open or extract the Windows API 3.13 at > > > > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20API%20for%20MS-Windows/Current%20Release_%20w32api-3.13/w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz/download > > > > The other download files seem to work fine; it is only this one that > gives > > trouble. > > Here's the md5sum of the copy I've been using successfully: > > a50fff6bc1e1542451722e2650cb53b4 *w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz > > Using the link you gave, I downloaded a fresh copy.
