Re: Mozilla 1.3 built on cygwin?

ws programs. This might be a poor example but the reason I would, at least, like to try Mozilla under Cygwin is the same reason I use Emacs and Apache under Cygwin. The native versions might perform better but I like the integration of the Cygwin ports. Anyway, I am going to try it this weekend. Lets

ome a Cygwin version with open arms. Finally.. Every major porting effort that Cygwin goes to does not kill or hurt Cygwin, it makes it stronger and more functional. -- Michael F. March - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph: (602)410-1780 Fax: (602)296-0400 P.O. Box 2254 Phoenix, AZ 85002-2254

heading of announcement says 1.3.21-1 still

Thanks for all that you do, but I thought that you might want to know that the heading on the News Page still says "New Cygwin DLL 1.3.21-1 release Take care, jft -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation:

user homepath

by default win2k installation, all user have their path at: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\ if I want user to share the same path in cygwin, sould creating a symbolic link in /: ln -s /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Setting/ /home suffies??? another question is really windows 2000 related...I re

cygwin and ntsec

right after installation of cygwin, the cygwin filesystem is mostly under user Administrators (the user I use is Admin, which is just renaming the default Administrator of Win2k) and group None... While I am not sure if None is a group, I am pretty damn sure that Administrators is a group in my win

exceed and xfree

well, this is more or less like a windows/dos problem: I do not like the cygwin dos window, so everytime I run cygwin, I go straight to open an xterm with my own color and size... but I do not like the cygwin xserver either because it either have to be in a big window or full screen...well, I stil

.profile and xterm

Just starting to play with cygwin. I edited my .profile to do some nice aliases, setting PATH and bashprompt... but I realize that as soon as I start a terminal using xterm (I am using exceed as my Xserver, but shouldn't matter) all the alias are gone (such as ls=ls --color=auto, which is handy...

Why does declare getopt_long()?

I recently re-ran setup.exe and upgraded the packages I have installed and was surprised to find that many of my projects no longer build with Cygwin. They now fail with an error regarding the redefinition of struct option. These projects use getopt_long() which is of course not portable; so I

less 378 still not anchoring to \

Hello, I just reinstalled "less" from the cygwin site. It still doesn't seem to anchor to word boundaries using regex(3) rules i.e. \ doesn't match anything, as does . I read a posting suggesing a solution by using perl syntax (apparently): /\bSomeWord\b That works, but is there a known rea

Hi, Please ignore my previous posting. Perls is behaving exactly as intended. My brain is just dead, that's all. Fred fred wrote: Hello, I'm using Perl v5.6.1 built for cygwin-multi. It runs on cygwin 1.3.19-1. I'm going thru some example code in "man perlintro": > my $variables = { >

ps2epsi problem

Hello, I'm having trouble using ps2epsi on a PS file that is one page in a multipage PDF file. Works fine if I use ps2epsi on a PS of the whole document, but that creates a single EPS with material from all the pages piled on top of each other. If I use the -sOutputFile=SomeName%d.epsi, it gener

Re: cygwin, emacs, mozilla

I am amazed that, considering the warm fuzzy loving relationship between Microsoft and Netscape/Mozilla, they continue to use VC. I would expect them to lean over backwards to move over to gcc. They are indeed, but converting the big build process from VC to gcc is not so easy an operation ^_

pasting clipboard always adds carriage return

Hi, I'm using cygwin-1.3.12-4 on WinME. I find that when I cut something from the cygwin window, it always has a carriage return at the end regardless of what application I paste it into. This only happens for text copied to the clipboard from a cygwin window. I have checked "Quick Edit" and un
