Did anybody recompiled successfully SNNS 4.2 with Cygwin/X? Its home page is at http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/SNNS/
I firstly tried using SNNS 4.2 binaries with latest Cygwin/X as X-server, but something wasn't working in the user interface (couldn't select some menu list entries), so I decided to get sources at
http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/downloads/SNNS/SNNSv4.2.tar.gz
and try recompile them.
Beside a few #define missing (that I properly fixed) seemed that the configure
script was running fine, infact I can run the application, and now all the
menu lists do work, but... when loading even an example configuration file I
get syntax errors in file, and after some clicks, trying opening other
windows, crashes.
Are you running Cygwin with binary mode mounts or did you change the default to text? Send in the output of the "mount" command run in a Cygwin bash shell. I would suspect that SNNS expects UNIX-style end-of-line characters and would thus be confused by DOS-style end-of-line characters. Poor coding could lead to a crash as well.
