That is how I started.  But, when I started to compile Bedrockdb, there were too many compiler errors.  Since the source is gcc-6 compatible, the version I downloaded from cygwin was 7.4.0-01. So, I didn't want to go that way, since the source would have to be changed.

I could try this next, but I would need you to be there. :-)  Just kidding.

Thanks, Doug.  I have installed gcc-6,

e608313@HOR711318E ~/gcc/gcc-6.4.0
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 6.4.0

$ which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc

So, now I will start to compile Bedrockdb.  Thanks for all your help, folks.
