If you run setup-x86_64.exe in your CI, please add "-t" option.
If you are using github action, use allow-test-packages like:
- name: Install Cygwin
uses: egor-tensin/setup-cygwin@v4
with:
packages: cmake gcc-g++
install-dir: C:\\tools\\cygwin64
allow-test-packages: true # <=
In other case, what kind of CI are you using?
