I seem to be having some problems with the GMP library in the latest version of Cygwin. I just installed the latest Cygwin along with the latest GMP, however C code that previously worked with GMP+Cygwin no longer does.
To try and determine whether this is a Cygwin problem or not, I recompiled the earlier version of GMP (that worked previously) on the latest version of Cygwin and it doesn't fix the problem. The problems are strange. The gmp_printf and gmp_scanf functions do not appear to work correctly (the former not at all, the later does not wait for input). For some reason there is also an obscure error which causes programs to hang just before they finish. The console also does not respond to CTRL-C as it used to. I have checked that the my code works correctly with the old version of Cygwin + GMP (4.1.x). Another possibility is a conflict with the hardware I am using. The new version of Cygwin is installed on my Athlon 64 Dual Core 3800+ running Windows XP 32 bit version. The old version is installed on my Athlon 2000+ laptop. One possibility would be to try installing the old version of Cygwin on my new machine to see if the problem goes away. Is there a way of doing this? I do not want to install the new version of Cygwin on my laptop as I am using it to do some development which must be completed by Oct 1st, thus I cannot risk screwing it up. Thanks in advance for any help.
