I have installed mysql native windows version on Windows. I have also compiled and installed mysql for cygwin . (I did this because I wanted install the mysql perl modules)
you'll only need cygwin libmysqlclient therefore, not the database and not the cygwin clients.
But, running the native version of mysqldump.exe in a cygwin shell seems to hang. If I run the version compiled from sources, it seems to work. The database server is the native windows version. http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/mysql-4.1.3b-beta-win.zip
Is this expected behaviour?
not expected, but a known problem with the native client versions in the cygwin shell since years.
also try to add the host=127.0.0.1 line to the [client] entry at c:\my.cnf so that it will not use the socket method.
