Hey all, I've been using Cygwin for ages, and had installed the xfree package around a year ago. I wasn't actually running the xserver under Cygwin because a year ago it wasn't all that usable yet. I was using Exceed, which is a commercial X server, and was using the cygwin/xfree X

Hi, I invoked cygpath -u with an empty string by mistyping a quoted environment variable name. It produced 10 garbage characters: % cygpath -u \š a\š a % cygpath -u |od -c 000 \ 232 \t a \ 232 \t a 020 \n 012 These characters appear not to change across

Hi Henning. You can use Cygwin's GCC. It's just a little more involved. Here's a short answer. When you configure, do so like this: $ env CC=gcc -mno-cygwin ./configure --host=i386-pc-mingw32 Notice that your --host specification was a little off. The way that I have specified it is
