I didn't "speculate" on the cause, I noticed multiple opens for a program that really only needs stat/lstat I believe. Hero's can come up with ideas, but may not be the best people to actually execute the plan or idea. Some people are hero's because of a reputation of excellent execution. Some smaller number of people can do both. I've found that while I can often come up with innovative ideas, I get more bogged down in details when it comes to programming than _some_ consider beneficial. It's been a while, but if I remember, I tried building it both under cygwin(XP) & tried cross-compiling under linux (preferred, as my linux box is 3-5x faster). Perhaps using SuSE (9.1) as my distro causes problem as cygwin was originally a Redhat effort? I'm perfectly willing to try again, but I didn't want to bother developers about questions they might consider "obvious", and I should go read some obscure text (I did try to follow build instructions, but don't remember if I ever ended up with anything useful). I know the FAQ has a rebuild under NT seection, is cygwin buildable on a linux system? :-) Thanks for the helpful pointers...:-) Linda Igor Pechtchanski wrote: > . . > Igor -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
