Hello, I'm using latest snapshot and updated cygwin installation.
$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 PCFX166 1.7.10s(0.259/5/3) 20120111 01:45:50 i686 Cygwin I've done rebaseall and peflagsall. I've found the following problem using make in parallel (-j) with multiple commands joined with semicolon (;) using cygwin and non-cygwin(cross compiler) commands. # just an example test.o: test.c echo compile ; cross-gcc -c test.c -o test.o Having multiple targets like this and using for example $ make -j8 |& tee make.log you will get a "bad address" error. /bin/sh: cross-gcc.exe: Bad address makefile:10: recipe for target `test.o' failed I stripped down the problem to the following testcase: $ cat ./testcase.sh #!/bin/sh (( echo 123 ; cmd /c echo 456 ) |& tee tee.log ) & executing the testcase will produce thr following output: $ ./testcase.sh $ 123 ./testcase.sh: line 2: /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/cmd: Bad address If only redirecting stdout to tee all works fine. The problem occurs ony while mixing cygwin and non cygwin programs. Using snapshot 20110829 all works fine. Any ideas? best regards heiko -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
