Attempting to compile J1.4 - error 404 when downloading packages?

General Usage
1

I’ve setup cgywin64, with the packages described here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/doc/src/devdocs/build/windows.md

Done a git clone --branch release-1.4 https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git
Run echo 'XC_HOST = x86_64-w64-mingw32' > Make.user
And build with make -j 8

This has worked OK with Julia 1.7 branch, but not with the julia 1.4 branch. It gives the following err:

What do I need to change to make it work?

The URLs are in the .mk files

e.g. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/release-1.4/deps/pcre.mk

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/release-1.4/deps/blas.mk

and those third parties have changed the location so they are no longer present at those addresses

You will have to hunt them down manually and copy them to srccache yourself (or fix the .mk files and submit a PR)
