RE: Re: PerlTk under Cygwin?

Don't know if you have solved this yet, but there is a special build that does indeed work. It is a version of tk800.025 with a patch. I can't find it right now but I found it with a bit of digging about 2 weeks ago. There was a tk800.024 for native win and tk804.xx for X11. they both seem t

RE: Perl-tk?

I've been using the tk800 native windows functionality for years with cygwin. You just have to recompile/install with each perl change. If I remember correctly, with the most recent cygwin/perl/tk800.024, I haven't even had to patch it. The big headache is that you need to play games with rebase

RE: Program to "talk" to serial port?

shell cmds crapping out with large numbers of files

{uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 THEODOLITE 1.5.9(0.112/4/2) 2004-03-18 23:05 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin } I need to process very large numbers ( up to 100,000) of imagefiles. I noticed my foreach loops start crapping out when the number of files grows near 1500. It feels like a 32bit memory addressing
