From: sharp00 AT earthlink DOT net (rale) Subject: Win98 + wait stuff = broken (was: Programs randomly crashing.) 2 Oct 1997 20:40:11 -0700 Message-ID: <3434631D.F2FA4918.cygnus.gnu-win32@earthlink.net> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hi, I have the exact same problem too... This is what i know (or at least what i think i know) so far: - the wait code in wait.cc is busted under win98... - configure scripts, or the Makefile from ash, and a bunch of other things generate the following error: (please confirm if this is the same error your getting) wait_for_any: WaitForMultipleObjects failed, win32 error 6 wait_for_any: Trying again. wait_for_any: That didn't help, win32 error 6 - this error originates from wait.cc, i found this out by just looking through the patches I havent been able to try fixing this, as i dont have the entire source, and i dont have another machine to compile on anyway. (i doubt it would compile on this one, considering the bug) Alex wrote: > > On Wed, 1 Oct 1997, Alex wrote: > > > Yech.
