Hi all, I've noticed that running cygserver-config produces the following advice: ------ Please keep in mind, that a client application which wants to use the services provided by cygserver *must* have the environment variable CYGWIN set so that it contains the word "server". So, if you don't need any other special CYGWIN setting, just set it to "server".
It is advisable to add this setting to the Windows system environment. ------- And I did so. Only yesterday I happen to be reading the 1.7 online documentation and found this on http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html: -------- (no)server - Originally this option had to be enabled on the client side to use features only available when running cygserver. This option has been removed because Cygwin now always tries to contact cygserver if a function is called which requires cygserver being available. For more information, read the documentation in the section called “Cygserver”. -------- Soooo... Who wins? :) I suspect the online docs wins... please confirm if is that so, and I can send you a patch to cygserver-config. I think I can handle that herculean task :) ___________ Julio Costa -- 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/
