Hi,I have a dozen of Windows XP clients that I would like to upgrade with the latest cygwin-rsyncd-3.1.2.1. But when I launch the executable files, I get the message "Not a valid Win32 application".
While you haven't described how you've gotten to this point, how you've installed cygwin, normally, upgrading over an existing cygwin installation is relatively straightforward. Taking the error at face value, one might speculate that you've accidentally selected a 64-bit deployment.
Does anybody know how to compile cygwin-rsyncd to run on Windows XP?
Yes, and it's both straightforward and unnecessary, as simply installing the correct packages should suffice. As I mention, there's no indication of what trouble you're encountering, so it's difficult to tell you how to proceed (and it would be silly and irresponsible to simply reproduce the cygwin installation instructions) but I do happen to have an installer that will select working versions of rsync for Windows platforms and install them for you, if you prefer to avoid cygwin's way of doing things.
Background: I wanted to upgrage to the latest version because I thought it would help to resolve the problem I'm getting with the rsync-3.0.9.0 client with backuppc version 4.1.3: rsync: on remote machine: -slHogDtprcx: unknown option
I don't believe this is an issue corrected by a version upgrade, but (of course) I haven't done the homework to see what option it doesn't like.
