Re: Sudden loss of "e" key in cygwin only - Fixed

[steve shepard]

Here's a fix to squirrel away; using the alt key and pressing the number pad 
keys (while holding the alt key) you can enter a ascii character
for example:
ALT 101

FYI
It seems a minor change (two Echo statements) in my .inputrc caused the problems
I'm not sure why.

All ok now

(Using minty problem was still there when I tried bash)

I'm new on the list today
I use generally use Cygwin for minimalist trawling through ascii dumps of 
databases using combos of grep awk printf etc


I cannot type "grep" on cmd line in cygwin anymore as of this morning!


It seems I have lost the lowercase "e" key. Uppercase works. All other keys 
seems to work.
All keys work in windows (on same computer).

Any clues anyone?


Thanking you kindly

Re: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to

[steve shepard]

The problem, as I have experienced it, is that not installed projects using 
cygwin have the same installation directory; you need to (from the cygwin) 
shell determine the install directory first.

This indicates that you are using a very old Cygwin installation.
The issue leading to this warning was fixed over a decade ago.
Please upgrade your Cygwin as explained in

Re: Error

[steve shepard]

Thank you, Andrey, for your helpful update.
My only two cents: Not every distribution uses the same installation directory 
for your product; I'd suggest those with this problem check the environment 
variables your project configuration uses.

This is a WARNING, not an error. And the wording of it indicates that you are
using a very, very, very old Cygwin version. The probem was fixed over a
decade ago.
See http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-find_fast_cwd-warnings

Re: Altera Quartus Tool

[steve shepard]

For what it's worth, I finally figured out how to check my version of Cygwin: 
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-WOW6 DESKTOP-7SLUGID 1.7.31(0.272/5/3) 2014-07-21 18:40 i686
i686 refers to the 32 bit version

Re: Warning (Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer)

[steve shepard]

Hi, jumping in mid-stream, which is also dangerous.
One issue: it is possible to have multiple versions of cygwin installed on your 
computer; perhaps checking the path for the module that gives the error might 
help. I have a similar using using Altera FPGA build software that used a 
different version in a different source path. Good luck!

For what it's worth, I ran into this problem with support on a FPGA project;
