ConceptGCC :

Installing conceptgcc under Windows

I'm stuck at pretty much step 0 in getting conceptgcc to run on my Windows machine, and googling the web and newsgroups has not yielded any indication that what I'm running into is a problem that others have encountered. I'm sure it's pilot error, but I'm hoping someone can point this misguided pilot in the right direction.

In http://www.generic-programming.org/software/ConceptGCC/files/conceptgcc-4.3.0-alpha-7-cygwin.tar.bz2 , the sizes of several of the executables in the bin directory, including conceptg++.exe, are 0. The attached jpg shows what I see after extraction. I've downloaded this file twice with the same results, so if it's a corrupted bz2 file, it seems to be a consistent one.

I've installed cygwin, including gcc, libmpfr1 and libmpfr-devel, so, in theory, I should be ready to go. But zero-sized executables are kind of a problem. Does anybody have any idea how I can solve it?

Thanks,

Scott
