vim problem with my install, y?

Hi List, Just installed cygwin, and tried to use vi. For some reason, which I hope someone on the list will make abundantly clear to me, all the keyboard input was focused into the leftmost, topmost character of my edit screen. I tried reinstalling vim, uninstalling and going back a version,

RE: posix threads

Hi Mike, I don't know how the different version are cross-referenced but uname tells me I'm running CYGWIN_NT-5.0. And the POSIX Version is set to 199009(which I think means it does most thread stuff but not all of the POSIX 1003.1c stuff). Hopefully this in someway helps. BTW, there is

setting socket option SO_RCVTIMEO doesn't affect blocking behavior of recvfrom

Hi List, I'm trying to develop a UDP client application which needs to send a request wait for 10 seconds and if a response isn't received send another request. Wanting to keep things as simple as possible I thought of using setsockopt to force a 10 second timeout on the blocking call to

RE: Doubt about vi editor

This is one I can answer, I think. You have to go back to the reinstall site and start the reinstall. When you get to the point that you specify things to install scroll down until you see the vim (vi iMproved) package. Select this package, for some reason it doesn't automatically get installed.

Is it possible to copy a file from anywhere to My Documents with bash cp?

How can I copy a file from a directory to My Documents on a bash command line? I played with it and can't hack the syntax. Thanks, Frank -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation:

RE: x-server with window-manager

Hi Harold, I'm trying to learn and maybe that puts me out of the loop here. But, I'll ask anyway. Is there a place users, like myself, can go and see a list of outstanding projects for cygwin? You know, the one's that you authors would allow us to help on. Thanks, Frank -Original

gcc builds executables but they're not executable?

Okay, I'm trying to do some stuff with time so downloaded the gnu time command from the install site. A couple of other things also got grabbed, I think they were texinfo and fi I forget. Point being now when I build an executable it's not executable and chmod won't let me make it executable. I

Hello again, I'm managing to take a couple of steps a day. One thing I stumbled across the other day is the startx command. I use this to work. I've noticed that my windows are not resizable and do not have scrollbars. Is there a better way to kickoff X? Second question, as I'm interested

New user question(s)

Hi List, I'm new to cygwin, running xfree86 version. I've attempted to look at the faq and the list archive and didn't see these questions. I think they're a result of some mis- understanding I have of UNIX. When I launch my cygwin window from the icon my .bashrc isn't run. Will someone

Hi List, My first post. I tried to get the faq and list info and the listbot told me they weren't available. I have a couple of questions, hopefully they aren't asked to much. One: On my installation I didn't get vim. And I'm not finding it out on the net anywhere. What can I do about this?
