Cygwin Everyone group permissions and Vista "shared files" (*not* shared folders)

Cygwin by default, tries to implement POSIX permissions using the NT ACL system - fairly well described here: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html The way this feature is implemented interacts poorly with Vista, however. A previous mailing (with reply) on this list that tried to describe

Yes, but as I said because the drive letter had changed on the flash drive is was really a 'different' directory if you see what I mean i.e. the inital download was to f:\cygwin\download and the second time it was to h:\cygwin\download Larry Hall (Cygwin) wrote: > > mtdg wrote: >> I downlo

upgrading to perl-5.8.8-4

I'm upgrading an older installation of cygwin that was previously running perl 5.6.1 and ran into some problems with @INC: 5.6.1 version perl -V: @INC: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6

Downloading only and updating on a flash drive problem

I downloaded only cygwin to a flash drive. Later when I tried to do another download on a different PC it did not find any of the previous download and told me I needed everything. My guess is since it was done on a different PC it was either the fact that there were no previous registry enteries

You can build gcc 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 just fine from the existing Cygwin gcc 3.x package. The error also /appeared/ to have the object directory under the source directory. Don't do that. I use roughly: mkdir /obj/gcc.1 cd /obj/gcc.1 /src/gcc/configure -disable-nls -disable-boo

Thank you, Tatsuro Matsuoka, Following Brian Dessent's advice, I have reinstalled Cygwin in binary (Unix) file mode. Under that rendition of Cygwin, the gcc 4.3.2 build ran to completion. The resulting GCC looks promising, although I have not yet tested it extensively. Best, Werner P.S.: My apo
