Greetings, Larry Hall (Cygwin)! On 09/11/2014 09:20 AM, scotttins...@ups.com wrote: On this server, there is no sysnative under Windows. From a Windows CMD shell, 'sysnative' is only visible from 32-bit apps. It's not actually visible. But you can access it. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Specifically: 32-bit applications can access the native system directory by substituting %windir%\Sysnative for %windir%\System32. WOW64 recognizes Sysnative as a special alias used to indicate that the file system should not redirect the access. This mechanism is flexible and easy to use, therefore, it is the recommended mechanism to bypass file system redirection. Note that 64-bit applications cannot use the Sysnative alias as it is a virtual directory not a real one. Unless you made sure that the CMD shell you're running is the 32-bit version, it won't see sysnative. As I mentioned before, this is not a Cygwin-specific issue. If your goal is to be able to see and work seamlessly with other 64-bit apps and Cygwin, you may find less difficulty if you install the 64-bit version of Cygwin. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 11.09.2014, 17:59 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

RE: Windows 2008 access to inetsrv directory
Sorry for top posting. But that is Outlook in text mode. Changing directory to sysnative worked. I was able to access inetsrv/backup.

Re: Font support of UTF-8 chars differ between w32 Emacs and Cygwin Emacs

If they don't have that glyph (which is likely, given the results you report), then Emacs would try to get it from another font with the same dimensions (I don't know if mintty does font substitution and if so, how) and the results very much depend on the font maps used. I didn't know about that mechanism. But, then, the question is: why does Windows Emacs find a substitution, and not Cygwin Emacs (for the same font)? It's clear that I was wrong when I said that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with emacs. The problem might be that the Cygwin-w32 build of emacs is a relatively recent invention and may still need some tweaking to get all the GUI features working properly. If you or someone else is motivated enough, I'm sure it would be possible to figure out how the Windows build finds a glyph for characters that don't have one in the chosen font, and to port that to the Cygwin-w32 build. I'm copying Daniel Colascione, the author of that build, to see if he has any comments.

su command removed / coreutils-8.23-2
Hello, today i've updated my cygwin and now i have a big problem. the su command was removed. https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2014-08/msg00245.html i need su to start my services as seperate user, because i have a webinterface to manage my services for both Linux and Windows and it needs the su command. - will the su command come back to cygwin? - or is there a alternative workaround?

I don't know. The coreutils 'su' was removed upstream; nowadays 'su' is provided by util-linux, but that version requires PAM. - or is there a alternative workaround?

I've debated about reviving 'su' as it was in coreutils 8.15 into its own package, unlikely to ever be further updated (except maybe recompiled as needed), but that takes work and free time, so anyone else is more than welcome to attempt it first. - or is there a alternative workaround?
