This means you have two different Cygwin versions installed. If you never use the other one, I strongly suggest removing it, as an unused and unmaintained program is often a good target for various troublemakers. And that other version of Cygwin you have IS unmaintained, judging by the error you receive from it (which was fixed over a decade ago). > On Sat, Apr 2, 2022 at 8:28 AM James wrote: >> Hi there, >> >> >> I just got that error message, asking me to report it here. >> >> 1 [main] bash 17336 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute >> FAST_CWD pointer.

Please read the linked FAQ entry for that explanation. Ancient legacy repos such as SourceForge and GoogleCode are fertile sources of such projects as are products from (some not so) defunct embedded systems tool developers. This removes the need for an autoresponder and is more helpful at the same time. Users might be reluctant to join the mailing list just to report this and therefore they may waste their time needlessly trying to track down the problem. That was why the autoresponder was added - reply directly to those folks and point them to a greatly expanded FAQ entry with relevant links explaining the problem and solution, and suggesting other actions. I don't remember anyone clicking the email link at the end to let us know what a product or project was or where it came from, so someone on the list could follow up. And folks wonder why there are software supply chain security issues! -- Take care.

Users might be reluctant to join the mailing list just to report this and therefore they may waste their time needlessly trying to track down the problem. The message is baked into ancient versions of Cygwin. I believe the page the auto-responder points them to indicates the fact that their version is old and should be updated. This often happens because someone bundled Cygwin with something else and is not updating the Cygwin version. Modern versions no longer generate the message. In sum, the auto-responder is the best thing we can do about it. At least we don't have to have a human respond.

Good afternoon, I've installed the latest Cygwin on the latest Windows (win8 64, dev preview), with a few tools I use on a regular basis (ping, whois, wget, curl many more). Unfortunately whenever I open it I get the aforementioned error. Same goes for when I try and use the g++ with Netbeans... Could you please fix this bug ASAP?

Other than that, we don't support W8 until it will be officially released. Until then, expect broken behaviour.
