I was trying to build libassuan (one of the prerequisites for GnuPG2), and ran in to this problem on the test: fdpassing[4844.4] DBG: -> OK Pleased to meet you fdpassing[4844.4] DBG: <- # descriptor 4 is in flight fdpassing[4844.4] DBG: <- INPUT FD fdpassing[4844]: no pending file descriptors! fdpassing[4844.4] DBG: -> ERR 101 server fault (general error) fdpassing[2068]: sending INPUT FD failed: server fault fdpassing[4844.4] DBG: <- BYE fdpassing[4844.4] DBG: -> OK closing connection FAIL: fdpassing.exe I get this error in cygwin-1.7, and I have CYGWIN=server, and the cygserver is installed and running. After a bit of googling: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-01/msg00693.html > This test could be trying to do something that cygwin doesn't support: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00060.html >> can [cygwin] pass file descriptors over unix sockets (streams) so >> that a process can share its file descriptors with another? > Nope. Sorry So, since I'm not sure if things may have changed in this respect in cygwin-1.7, I'll restate the OPs question: Can [cygwin-1.7] pass file descriptors over unix sockets (streams) so that a process can share its file descriptors with another? If not, what sort of "not" is it? (a) possible, but nobody has had the time or inclination to implement (b) not possible on win32 (c) possible, but REALLY hard -- case (a) on steroids. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
