I have set up a new clean computer with windows 8.1 64 bit to build Webkit. I downloaded the cygwin-installer according to the docs at http://www.webkit.org/building/tools.html. When I launch setup.exe, I enter C:\cygwin as path to install to, and the download path as local directory to install from. The package list in the next step is empty, with a message "no packages found". Proceeding doesn't install anything. I found a solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27080690/build-or-compile-webkit-on-windows7-64bit to copy the setup.ini into the x86 directory and relaunch the setup.exe. Now the installation lists the packages and the installation continues. Maybe someone could fix this bug because this makes the installation impossible at a very early stage. Thanks Thomas

Created attachment 270636 [details] workaround There seems three problems: * Some mirror sites does not exist anymore * All version-fixed packages do not exist anymore * setup.ini should be x86/setup.ini in the latest setup.exe
