A couple of setup issues

Hi, While trying to install various versions, some from mirrors and some from the Cygwin Time Machine archives, I hit a couple of issues with the setup: 1. If you select a mirror and step on to the select packages page and choose pending with best or sync, you see a list of the packages to be u

X11 forwarding extremely slow (unusable) after Cygwin upgrade on Dec 23rd

Hi, I have a Cygwin installation on a Windows 10 PC, on which I use X-Windows to access a Linux development/build server. All has been working great for a long time, until I rand a Cygwin upgrade on December 23rd, and after that X11 has become pretty much unusable. I normally launch the termina

Rxvt on Windows 7 RC

Hi, I just tried cygwin (1.5.25) on the Windows 7 RC for the first time. Seems to work fine from a Windows cmd window, but I can't get it to run an rxvt window launched directly from Windows. In previous Vista and XP installations I used a Windows shortcut to run the command "C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.ex

Compiler error - missing iconv.h with -mno-cygwin

Hi, I have a program that uses libxml2 and compiles fine under Cygwin when I compile it as a Cygwin app. However, I want to compile a stand-alone version so I updated the Makefile to add CFLAGS += -mno-cygwin and LDFLAGS += -mno-cygwin (I'm using gcc 3.4.4), and with these it fails to compile beca

Install error on Perl PROC::Background under Cygwin

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a Perl module or Cygwin specific problem, so I'll try here first. Anyone got any idea what's going wrong here?: I have perl 5.10.0 installed in cygwin, and I'm getting an error trying to install the Proc::Background module for it. I downloaded the module from cpan.org,

/usr/lib/xeleven replaced

Hi, Any idea what may have caused this. I run cygwin bash in an rxvt window, and suddenly a couple of days ago it started opening with a white background instead of black, with a smaller font, etc., i.e. it somehow lost all its resources. It turns out that it can't find the resource file /usr/lib/

Hi, Having recently upgraded my Cygwin installation to the latest release, a program that was compiling fine in now failing with a compile error reported in stdlib.h. After a bit of digging, it turns out that stdlib.h does not now compile with -ansi and -mno-cygwin options as it used to. This simp
