Hi, I am new to cygwin and trying to port existng Linux based implementation of shared memory on cygwin.
I am having issues with shmget call. I tried to debug and found out that everytime I try to call shmget function I get an error and the main thread exits: Program exited with code 06000 I checked cygwin documentation and mailing lists: I have ipc-daemon2 running cygserver is also running with default options which includes : XSI IPC Shared Memory support. Would appreciate if someone could point out what is the real issue. Thanks...
