Re: problem with paste-from-clipboard
So downgrade my libreadline to previous version? I have 7.0.1-2, cygwin install is trying to push me to 7.0.3-3 version. On my another station (older cygwin instalattion) I has 6.3.8-1 version and here it works good.

copying "file.exe" + "file" (a shell script) => targetdir fails
I know *why* this is happening (cygwin treating x.exe as x), but
should it do it for shell files too?
sourcedir:
ll -di bin/updatedb bin/updatedb.exe
337488497076088359 -rwxrwxr-x+ 1 10163 Apr 12 17:07 bin/updatedb*
144115188075956844 -rwxrwxr-x+ 2 287813 Apr 15 2014 bin/updatedb.exe*
(two different files, different types:)
file bin/updatedb{,.exe}
bin/updatedb: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable
bin/updatedb.exe: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows
cp -l bin/updatedb /nbin/
cp: cannot create hard link '/nbin/updatedb' to 'bin/updatedb': File exists
cp thinks /nbin/updatedb is the same as /nbin/updatedb.exe (and prevents
copying a real 'updatedb' script into the same place:
(target):
ll -i /nbin/updatedb.exe /nbin/updatedb
144115188075956844 -rwxrwxr-x+ 2 287813 Apr 15 2014 /nbin/updatedb*
144115188075956844 -rwxrwxr-x+ 2 287813 Apr 15 2014 /nbin/updatedb.exe*
But I can create a dir named /nbin/updatedb:
mkdir /nbin/updatedb
And now have 2 different inodes in target:
ll -di bin/updatedb bin/updatedb.exe
337488497076088359 -rwxrwxr-x+ 1 10163 Apr 12 17:07 bin/updatedb*
144115188075956844 -rwxrwxr-x+ 2 287813 Apr 15 2014 bin/updatedb.exe*
Is this suppose to work this way?
(I know how to work around this (used move in cmd.exe),
but why can I create a dir but not a file there?
A bit strange -- guess it isn't often I have both a "file"
and "file.exe" in a dir.

What you have to do is install one of the cross-compilers (32-bit, or 64-bit, or both), and cross compile the project. Cross compiling can be as easy as defining CC as the cross-compiler, and as hard as having to build all the dependencies and make sure all the right, cross-compiles libraries, are the only ones used. -- R.

problem with paste-from-clipboard
Hi folks, I have problem with "paste-from-clipboard" in cygwin. In ~/.inputrc file I have just this line: "\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard I start cygwin terminal (as C:\cyg64\bin\bash.exe --login -i), from another (say, GUI) place I copy some text into clipboard and I try to include it with Insert key to cygwin terminal. Nothing happend. I tried run `sed -n l` to check that my Insert key gives right keystroke: $> sed -n l \033[2~$ So it looks like keystroke is mapped good. I included another line in ~/.inputrc just to verify, that ~/.inputrc is sourced: "\e[3~": end-of-line and now when I hit Delete key, cursor is moved at the end of line. So looks like ~/.inputrc is sourced and works. But I can't include from clipboard. In terminal definition I have checked Quick edit mode and Insert mode. Does someone know what I'm doing wrong? My system: Win7 64 Professional, English.

Due to the way we do backups at work, my Cygwin "root" is installed in a path that contains spaces. Most things work OK, but Xwin is unable to automatically run "xrdb" when it starts up. This means that my default X program configurations (xterm , Emacs) are not read. I have to manually run xrdb each time I start a new Xwin session.

There's lots of contexts where you don't need quoting, as the shell uses the variable and contents and does the right thing, but there is no easy way to describe this, other than quote where there are shell parameter expansions, which may not mean much to many. -- Take care.
