You should probably post a synopsis in the newlib mailing list about
this if you think newlib is at fault.

Turns out, the problem IS in newlib.
First, create a buffer of the appropriate length:
buffer = g_new (gchar, g_printf_string_upper_bound (format, args1));
And then format the data into that buffer.
vsprintf (buffer, format, args2);
But the buffer isn't long enough, so the actual problem is *pr

Jason,
Welcome.
We encourage clear, precise and concise questions. We suggest (many would
like to demand it, in fact) that you do your homework and let us know where
and how you did try to help yourself, not just that you want something or
other vague that doesn't seem to be right there in fro
I am very new to Cygwin but like what I see thus far.
My main reason for using is to install Ruby on my Windows machine, I
need to get gcc or some kind of cc compiler working on here so that I
can use configure and make with make install.
Thank for your help in advan ce,

I have problems to get the cygwin port of mplayer to work on a p3 800

same executable works perfect on a p2 350. I found out, that it sometimes
reads one byte less on the p3 than on the p2. Other

On Cygwin calling tzset() and localtime() will set TZ in
the environment (if it isn't set), while calling tzsetwall()
will always set TZ.
As far as I can tell this is both non standard and unnecessary.
Am I wrong? Is it now a feature? Or is it "patch gratefully
accepted"?

Thank you for your quick reply (and the private mail too!).

Hi,
I've written a small command-line class (editing, history, command completion
etc.). That requires cursor positioning and reading of single characters. It
works quite well under Linux (with tcsetattr() and escape sequences) and in
NT console windows (using the WinNT console API from wincon.

Hi,
Has anyone atempted to port valgrind to cygwin?
I thought it was something that would be good to do, but its looking like
quite a big job, given that its tied so strongly to the linux kernel. I
could keep ripping it to bits until it compiles - but I am guessing the end
product will be useless
