Cygwin on a mobile drive: formatting options?
Rather than install and maintain Cygwin on several desktop machines that I use, I travel from one to another with one copy of Cygwin on a mobile drive. This is formatted FAT32 as I don't need the grief NTFS provides for file access and attribution. A 40G drive is glacier-shift slow, a 100G drive was lightning, and the latest 500G drive is slow. All 3 are formatted using Linux fdisk + mkdosfs, as this is so reliable. To my surprise all 3 drives allow the user to select either FAT32 (option b in fdisk) or FAT32(LBA) (option c). [Surprise because naively I thought LBA was an engineering option restricted to large capacity magnetic drives only, and not solid state flash drives like the 40G.] Question: Can anybody tell me whether b or c is better for access speed or offers any perceptible advantage over the other? I don't mind being told to pursue this thread on cygwin-talk [but it is not intended to be funny, apparently a requirement of that list] or being told that it is off-topic, in which case where should it be pursued?

Re: cmd.exe from Cygwin

I'm not saying that's exactly what's going on, I'm saying that we don't know given your description so far. I think I've make little progress in this regard: I compared environment variables from an original cmd.exe and that of cmd.exe invoked from cygwin bash. I noticed that, for the one invoked from cygwin, the %Path% variable had cygwin\bin directories before all Windows paths. After I removed the cygwin\bin directories, the same utility seem to work fine (as of now). How can I prevent cygwin\bin directories occupying at the beginning of %path%? The Cygwin paths are added in '/etc/profile'. Obviously, you can remove them though that will make your configuration non-standard and unsupported. Essentially, this would make Cygwin tools inaccessible when running 'bash', which doesn't sound like what you really want. Obviously, you could add the Cygwin paths somewhere else to give Symbian priority but this is likely to just cause other conflicts and, again, not be what you really want. So to me, the question comes down to which tools to you really want to use, Symbian's, Cygwin's, or something else? Once you can answer that, you should be able to configure things so that you get the proper set for your needs. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

gcc 3.4.4 crashing with segfault
While trying to build a gcc 3.2.1 cross-compiler on a current Cygwin install, I get a repeatable segfault/internal-error from gcc 3.4.4 [see below]. Building the exact same thing (identical sources and configure options) on Linux with gcc 3.4.6 works fine. It also built fine on older versions of Cygwin. Unfortunately, I've updated all my Cygwin installs, so I don't know how far back you have to go to get it to work. Any ideas? It's actually the 3.2.1 cross-compiler that's crashing, right?

Re: cmd.exe from Cygwin
For all we know bldmake could be bldmake.bat which contains a line such as: sh E:\Symbian\M04765_Symbain_OS_V9.5\bin\Tech\Viewepoc32\tools\bldmake.bat Intending to use Symbian's version of sh which can handle backslashes but due to how your PATH is setup it's using Cygwin's version of sh which doesn't like the backslashes. I'm not saying that's exactly what's going on, I'm saying that we don't know given your description so far. I think I've make little progress in this regard: I compared environment variables from an original cmd.exe and that of cmd.exe invoked from cygwin bash. I noticed that, for the one invoked from cygwin, the %Path% variable had cygwin\bin directories before all Windows paths. After I removed the cygwin\bin directories, the same utility seem to work fine (as of now). How can I prevent cygwin\bin directories occupying at the beginning of %path%? Also, I created a screen cast of running cmd.exe from bash.

Obviously, you can remove them though that will make your configuration non-standard and unsupported. Essentially, this would make Cygwin tools inaccessible when running 'bash', which doesn't sound like what you really want. Obviously, you could add the Cygwin paths somewhere else to give Symbian priority but this is likely to just cause other conflicts and, again, not be what you really want. So to me, the question comes down to which tools to you really want to use, Symbian's, Cygwin's, or something else? Once you can answer that, you should be able to configure things so that you get the proper set for your needs. Thanks for the info. My intention is not to throw Cygwin and it's utilities away; but to move Cygwin path towards the end when--and only when--I run Symbian tool chain, because, AFAIK, Symbian tool chain doesn't ask for any tools from Cygwin. But your batch file is invoking Cygwin's bash. Perhaps if you decouple things there, then they will work as you expect without changing other things in your environment. Moving Cygwin paths to the end of the path in '/etc/profile' would have the effect of making everything else in the system with a like name override the Cygwin version, even when you're using Cygwin and want the Cygwin versions. I expect this is not at all what you want. Maybe the best thing to do would be to edit the .bat/.cmd file so that the first thing it does is redefines PATH as it is in a normal cmd window - ie w/o cygwin running. That would result in the environment being clean for cygwin normally, and mean your symbian stuff wouldn't end up crapping itself by calling cygwin tools that work differently..

Re: MinTTY 0.3.2
OK, I have just downloaded the latest version and compiled it. It comes up fine. However the text font size is very small. Is there a way to make it easier to read? Indeed, is there a way to configure quite a few things. Am I missing something about documentation? The options dialog can be reached via the context menu or the window menu (Keyboard shortcuts: menu O or Alt+Space O). Alternatively, the config file .minttyrc can be edited directly. Apologies for the lack of documentation.

I found the menus and editing the font ot be bigger and also to get it black on white rather than white on black. I saw that a config file was called .minttyrc, but what does on put it in? Apologies for the lack of documentation. No worries, it will come. Cheers, Brian.
