Re: tetex 3.0.0-3 format file problem

Well, I think the problem is due to cygwin/Windows limitation: you can't have a link named latex that points to pdfetex.exe But correct me if I'm not right. Bert -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation

Re: Lilypond brought up to date?

I'm still struggling with the release of 2.4.5. Anyway, 2.4.3 was released 6 months ago, and it is true that it takes quite some time to build a new version, because there are lots of problems appearing each time. Bert The most current version of Lilypond offered by cygwin's setup for Windows i

Re: Strange linking

While this is a problem which could be "fixed" in some way in Cygwin, I'm nevertheless wondering how you want the ambiguity to be solved. If you type "etex" on the command line, do you want etex -> pdfetex.exe to be started or etex.exe? I want etex -> pdfetex.exe (if etex exists, it should be

Re: lilypond-doc-2.4.3-1 using setup.exe 2.457.2.1 fails to display music images

ghostscript/fontconfig issues

Hello, I've found the following bugs/issues about the ghostscript and fontconfig packages and their cooperation: - fontconfig segfaults with old fonts in ghostscript (hr*), because they are buggy. AFAIK other ghostscript distributions do not contain them for the same reason. - fontconfig's /etc/

memory/custom streams

Dear developers and experts, is there a way in Cygwin to use facilities like those available in GNU libc for memory/stream handling, like documented in: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/String-Streams.html http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Custom-Streams.html Than

Re: Setup.exe problem: double-click selects wrong version

I think double-click should work as one single click in this case, because the user gets no feedback that he've done something other than he wanted to. This is a bug in the user's understanding of the interface, I think. Max. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple P

Setup.exe problem: double-click selects wrong version

Hello, I've found that when a user double-clicks on a package, it is interpreted as two single clicks, so it is not the current version that gets selected, but the previous. Bert -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.

I've made the latest stable version of LilyPond (http://www.lilypond.org) available for installation. This is a major upgrade from the previous 2.2.5. With this release, LilyPond does not rely anymore on TeX to do titling and page layout, but distributes page breaks optimally by itself to produce

Very annoying bash problem

Hello, starting bash on my Windows XP computer (1GHz, 512MB) takes more than one minute!!! It seems as it reads a lot of things from the hard disk, but it writes nothing (as the free space doesn't change). It doesn't allocate memory as well. This also happens on my Windows 2000 (1.8GHz, 512MB)

Custom installer

Does anyone have an experience with implementing a custom installer for some cygwin package? (I'd like to have a one-click installer for the lilypond package). Or can setup.exe be switched to a mode that doesn't need user interaction? Bert -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubsc
