Update to "Reporting Guidelines" on the cygwin site

Please bottom posting and trim here. (Above is copied from a recent post about a problem report.) Being a fairly new member of this mailing list, I did carefully read the guidelines about using the mailing list, but there was no mention of no top posting etc. And yes, I did top post myself

Hi Marco, Thanks for the response. As you seemed to hint, seems my Python installation was bent: I checked your dir listing against my Cygwin root directory (C:\cygwin64), and found that neither usr/bin nor usr/lib exist (usr/include/python3.8/pyconfig.h does exist). I've made several attempt

Looks like GDB in Cygwin does not catch Ctrl/C correctly

Hi All, Another question for tonight: So there's a program that basically enters a tight loop on some incorrect input (and needs to be debugged, obviously). The program is otherwise rather basic, doesn't use anything outside K&R C RTL. When I run the program under gdb, I want to interrupt it w

RE: Is there a way to clone-install Cygwin?

Fair enough. I don't think I've encountered any scripts that modify the system in my use of cygwin, so I didn't think of it. You're correct, "mostly portable" is more accurate. On January 20, 2020 20:33:22 "Lavrentiev, Anton (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C] via cygwin" wrote: Cygwin is totally portab

Getting Python on Windows points USER_HOME

Re: BUG: exec format error: emacs

I have now solved the problem by explicitly removing /usr/bin/emacs before re-installing it using Cygwin Setup. Now it indeed became a symlink (to /etc/alternatives/emacs). Ronald On Fri, Jan 17, 2020, at 17:16, Ken Brown wrote: > On 1/17/2020 10:33 AM, Ronald Fischer wrote: > > When trying to
