It seems this project just stopped.
Is there any status update on arch/cygwin other then the wiki?
I attempted to build tla-1.3.1 on cygwin, ran into the usual issues listed on the mailing list.
Are you building Tom's version? Or the cygwin specific one?
There are a few different versions for tla on cygwin. The official version doesn't work./bin/sh vs /bin/bash unit-unidata test
My journey began because of this error:

PANIC: I/O error
Lode Leroy has a binary distribution (which I feel *almost* works but not completely)
I took his changes and put them into a arch repository. I'm at present (as in worked on it yesterday) getting all of the tests to pass.
The branch is available from:
http://ct.radiology.uiowa.edu/~jfmeinel/archives/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have some testing builds of it at
http://ct.radiology.uiowa.edu/~jfmeinel/tla-short-path/testing/
I also have a build of my short-path version at: http://ct.radiology.uiowa.edu/~jfmeinel/tla-short-path/
The short-path version tries to make paths shorter to avoid problems. However long category/branch/archive names can still run out of space. Lode's version uses the fact that on Windows (unless you disable it) every filename/directory has a short dos 8.3 name. Which means they can be created with their full name, and then accessed later by a shorter path.
It works, though afterwards Explorer and most general tools don't like the directories.
Summary, things are progressing, if you want, try the binaries, maybe check back once in a while.
