Hello Everyone,

Trying to build 1.6.2.2 and I'm getting the following error.

    LINK git-fast-import.exe
    cc: unrecognized option `-pthread'
    /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -liconv
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make: *** [git-fast-import.exe] Error 1

Thoughts?

you need to get the libiconv package using the cygwin installer.

Thanks, Ray. That fixed it. I had libiconv2 but I guess it's not backwards compatible.
