This only applies to the older Cygwin 1.5, I think. Cygwin 1.7 now uses binary
IO only, text mode was dropped.
Great! Another step towards the disappearance of text mode.
Anyway, Cygwin versions builds and passes the test without any changes. I
tested with lzip-1.11-rc3-20100729.
Thanks. So this means lzip only need to be modified for native Windows mode?

Your also going to have to include io.h to pull in the setmode(), then
the tests pass.
The makefiles, configure and check.sh also need exeext added to properly
support OS/2 and Windows.
Thanks. Those are too many changes just to work around bugs and
shortcomings of two proprietary, non-posix OSs.
As my commitment is to provide high quality software for free posix
systems, I hope you both will be so kind to patch lzip for your
respective systems until those systems implement posix compatibility.
Best regards,
Antonio.
