Having just suffered through a cygwin upgrade, I would like to let other end users know what they need to do to get cygwin to work.
1. Create a new Windows System Environment variable called "SHELLOPTS" and set it to "igncr". This makes bash handle CR/LF correctly. 2. Replace /bin/make.exe with http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe . The new version of make can't handle colons, so replace the new version with an old make that can handle colons. I sincerely hope that either cygwin changes direction to be more Windows friendly, or that a cygwin fork is started in this direction. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/upgrade-advice-for-end-users-tf2928848.html#a8188447 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
