Comment (by dimpase):
few things about Cygwin rebase/rebaseall.
* we should rebase .so files, too;
* {{{rebase}}} has a new handy -O switch, which means rebase (new)
things, but do not touch the system dlls. So instead of rebaseall,
assuming one installs Sage on a system without previous versions of Sage
installed, one can do, at the Cygwin shell (no need to kill all the Cygwin
processes, as is the case for rebaseall):
{{{
$ cd $SAGE_ROOT
$ find . -name *.dll >/tmp/list_of_files
$ find . -name *.so >>/tmp/list_of_files
$ rebase -O -T /tmp/list_of_files
}}}
* previous versions of Sage clog up the limited static dll address space
maintained by Cygwin in {{{/etc/rebase*}}} databases. I recommend to wipe
them out before installing the new version of Sage; i.e. remove Sage
installation(s) and {{{/etc/rebase*}}} and run rebaseall as usual, in
{{{ash}}} or {{{dash}}}.
