What happened to get send-email

2014-09-05 Thread James Darnley
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:

Error from Perl when running git add -p

2015-03-11 Thread James Darnley
(Now I need a different message and to remember to uncheck encryption.) Earlier today I ran setup.exe to update Cygwin and packages. Now when I try to use git add -p (one of its iterative modes) I get an error from Perl (I assume) that it cannot find Error.pm in @INC (I should really learn to

Vim, Mintty, and mouse resizing no longer works.

2015-07-10 Thread James Darnley
Hi Thomas Unfortunately I have a complaint to make. When using the latest Mintty release I can no longer use the mouse to resize split windows in Vim. In 1.1.3, I can drag any window separator around to change the size of them. In 2.0.2 Aim appears to interpret the mouse as trying to make a

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.

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
