Best documentation for how to use cygport
What's the best documentation to read to understand how to use cygport to build packages? I am trying to use it to build Lua 5.3 and some modules. I think I bashed the Lua 5.2 cygport file into the right shape to build 5.3 correctly. But I don't know how to use the result of that to build other modules that depend on it. I need to give gcc and ld the right flags. Do I use package config for that? Do I statically define the right flags? Can I import variables from the 5.3 cygport file into other cygport files? It doesn't like "inherit lua53" at the top so I don't know what to do now. -- 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

There's a utility called getclip which put the clipboard onto stdout. Direct that into a file and you should get the same result, excluding Vim's indentation.

Fork and crashing problems
Hello. I know that fork issues are usually related to the BLODA programs. I don't think I have any installed. At least I couldn't find any of the listed programs in Windows' remove programs dialog. However I still get intermittent crashes when running things like make or configure scripts. These seem to occur only or more often if I have more terminals open (mintty) and/or a few suspended programs (usually vim and perhaps some verbose program piped into less). I was wondering if anyone else had experience with this. Can anyone suggest something I should have a look at? Is some Windows resource being exhausted? I used to have many explorer.exe processes running too (from run explorer.exe with a path through a script) but now with just one running I still encounter the problem. A quick summary of my system: Windows 7 x86-64 (fairly often updated), Cygwin 2.4 x86-64. The message I get is quoted below. I have also attached the cygcheck output. > 0 [main] sh 10684 fork: child -1 - forked process 7812 died unexpectedly, > retry 0, exit code 0xC005, errno 11 Thanks.

Is some additional vim configuration needed to enable that feature? General mouse enabling perhaps?

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 7. I have seen large changes regarding Perl on the cygwin-announce list so perhaps it was split off into some other package. I searched for error in setup.exe and saw that I do have perl-Error installed. Can anyone help me try to solve this? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
What happened to get send-email
So what happened to git send-email lately? I guess I let the package be updated and suddenly git tells me that there is no such command. Was it not built? Like it used to be missing on x86_64? I rolled back for now. P.S. Please Cc me as I am not subscribed. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
