Thank you for all the improvements. Don't want to repeat the long description at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-06/msg00658.html so can I just comment: the new 2.573.2.2 fails to spot an up-to-date but unmounted Cygwin system so, instead of merely re-mounting it, attempts to download and inst

Re: getting emacs in cygwin

Some people like to associate Cygwin tools with certain mime types so it's possible to click on a file in the explorer, for example, and have their favorite Cygwin tool open the file. Ah.. I see. That makes sense. I use zsh's suffix aliases and completion. I just enter the file name and zsh k

Cygwin installation hanging during post-install shell scripts

I'm trying to install Cygwin on a Windows XP machine, but the install hangs every time with these symptoms: * The installation makes it to about 97% * The window says that the install is running some post-install shell script (I've seen coreutils.sh and update-dir-info.sh) * Task M

Hi, the legal win32 paths containing period like "c:.\" or "c:." are incorrectly converted by cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() to "c:./" and "c:." respectively. See last two output lines of the attached example program. Pavel Kudrna /* file: parameters.c */ #include #include int main() { int i; c

Preparing for a new computer

I have installed four different variations of Cygwin on my current computer. The first was B.20, my initial exposure to this tool kit. The next one was buried in an SDK for Systech RCS port servers, and I didn't know it was there until after it began installing. The target for this was a 68EN363 CP

Is there a way to enable X11 forwarding by default so that I don't have to run "ssh -XY hostname" and can just run "ssh hostname"? I found a way for me to do it via a ~/.ssh/config file but I'm looking for a way to do it globally. I have seen it (on Linux systems) in /etc/ssh/ssh_config before...I
