flex 2.5.35-1: isatty() problem (and solution)

Hi, Recently, I updated my cygwin flex from 2.5.4 to 2.5.35-1 and my build has been breaking because of changes in flex.skl. Specifically, I have a problem with extern declaration of isatty in flex.skl. In 2.5.35-1, it is done like this in flex.skl: %if-c-only m4_ifdef( [[M4_YY_ALWAYS_INTERACT

Patch to allow Cron to use non-POSIX shells like Powershell.exe and CMD.exe

Hi This is a very simple patch for Cron to allow one to use a shell like powershell or cmd. I've done some testing and it appears to work well. I simply introduce a new environment variable called SHELLSWICTH that defaults to "-c" if not used. Otherwise, one can set it to "/c" or "-Command" for W

Can I use -display option with ported application ??

Hi everybody, I have a simple question about GUI based applications (like xeyes) that have been ported using cygwin. Is it possible to redirect the application window to another computer with the standard -display option as I can under unix ? And if not, what would I have to do during the porti

lndir problems

It looks like /usr/X11R6/bin/lndir has a bug when trying to link from a directory where stat() shows st_nlink of 1. Rather than recursively create new subdirectories, it creates links to the original subdirectories, apparently under the (wrong) assumption that since st_nlink is <= 2, there are

RE: 1.5.25: Random segfaults in unix tools

I have completely disabled all non-essential services that may affect Cygwin, but we are still getting the random segfaults. Also we have an identical physical (e.g. non VMWare) machine running the same tools and version of Cygwin which does not seg fault. Is it possible there is a actually a

diff: Resource temporarily unavailable

Hi We're using a version of Cygwin that's at least a year old. Someone found today that he can't diff two large files (200MB each) across the network using Cygwin. The error we get is: $ diff //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra/SWFILES/OIP/RF_Testing/OIP01_SWRF_IO.txt //samba/damita-nobackup/chitra
