I installed the binary release of squid 2.7, but calling squid doesn't do anything. Even squid -h or squid -v just returns without any message. Any suggestion?
I have found that the squid version in Cygwin does not support Windows 7 and above. I actually encountered exactly the same issue a few years ago when I migrated to Windows 7, and thinking it may be complex, left investigating it for later. It is coincidental that I've discovered why just ahead of you reporting this (I've had email problems that have prevented me responding until now). The relevant code verifying this can be found around line 272 from: http://www.squid-cache.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/squid/src/win32.c?annotate=1.17.2.1&only_with_tag=SQUID_2_6_STABLE17 From what I gather, a latter version does support Windows 7. But development of squid 2 has since ceased in favour of squid 3. Including security fixes. I haven't attempted a compile of squid 3 yet. Perhaps this may be the direction to go if squid is to stay in Cygwin? -- Regards, Shaddy -- 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
