Hi, when running a makefile with Visual Studios nmake that executes cygwin commands, I get random crashes with return code '0xc0000005'. A simple test.mak that uses echo and touch reproduces the problem.
bash-3.2$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 LABS-PCCHRIS 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-09-11 01:25 i686 Cygwin bash-3.2$ cat test.mak clean: echo "yyyy" touch test.file bash-3.2$ while (true); do nmake -f test.mak; done Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.30729.01 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. echo "yyyy" yyyy touch test.file Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.30729.01 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. echo "yyyy" yyyy touch test.file NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\dev\cygwin1.7\bin\touch.EXE' : return code '0xc0000005' Stop. Does anybody know what happens here?
