Multiple installations of Cygwin clash, both over the registry name used for the mount table and the name of the shared memory region. This makes it difficult to have several versions for testing purposes, and causes problems with software from 3PPs.
Has anybody considered using PSAPI to find the full path to cygwin1.dll, and using a hash of this path as the name of the shared memory region and of the registry key? (I couldn't find anything with Google, but cygwin-developers isn't indexed). Win98 would have to fall back to the old name, but this could allow multiple installations to remain independent of each other on NT based windows. -- Adrian Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
