Your problem is that Win98 is unsupported by Microsoft, and soon to be unsupported by cygwin. I built the cygwin package of git assuming that you would be using a saner filesystem (in other words, the version of git that ships from cygwin.com assumes NTFS, which Win98 does not support); as a result, you have proven that my assumptions break on Win98. In order to run git on this old of a platform, you will have to compile it from source yourself, and where I commented out the "NO_MMAP = YesPlease" line in git's Makefile, you will have to leave that line in effect. Sorry, I'm not too keen on bending over backwards to support an obsolete system that I no longer have access to, which means I can't debug your problem. -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin git maintainer -- 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/
