From: bjepson AT ids DOT net ("Brian C.

I installed B17.1 from the latest/all/ directory, copied the files together, did the gunzip and tar business. I have a c:\bin and c:\tmp directory, and sh.exe is in c:\bin. I have tried a few of the utilities, which work fine. However, when I invoke make, even without a Makefile present, it crashes with a random error (GPF the last time), usually in make (according to the error message, when you click on the details button). My whole setup is on a doublespaced zip drive (how hairy can you get?), and when I move the cygwin DLL to the local drive, it crashes in the DLL, rather than in make. I'm going to try installing from the same tar file on my Windows NT box when I get home this weekend, and I bet everything will work fine. If not, maybe I screwed up the file transfer somehow. Otherwise, it's probably something to do with my mutant setup. I thought I'd toss this out in case anyone has any guesses as to what's wrong.
