First of all, many thanks to all you who have pitched in to help me out. I followed Rene's advice and added 'hostname.exe' to the NIS 'allowed' list. I found that things moved along, but got stuck at 'uname'(should have expected that to happen!). So I added 'uname.exe' to NIS's list. And, lo and b

g77, iargc, getarg don't work for shared linking on Cygwin

2005-11-29 Thread Alan W. Irwin
The problem: iargc, and getarg work for g77 on Cygwin when programmes are built with static linking but not when they are built with shared linking. g77 platforms other than Cygwin do not have this problem. Static linking builds an executable that works fine: g77 -c chkargs.f -o chkargs.o g77 --

Hi, 1. I have set two symbolic links under the /usr/local/bin/ for SAS (sas) and SPLUS (splus70) for windows (Two statistical packages that reside in my desktop with Microsoft XP OS). 2. In advance I start the x-win by the "startx" in cygwin. (cygwin/X Project, release 6.8.2.0-2) 3. under a

Is it possible to compile under a cygwin a native windows application that will run without cygwin installed? For example, can a take a unix source, compile and run it under cygwin, then go to another win32 machine that has not cygwin installed, and run it there? -- Unsubscribe info: http:
