Also, to get anything to work correctly you must get the sh.exe and cygwinb19.dll update from Christopher Faylor's page. If you communicate with NON-CYGWIN programs from bash you will need to "SET CYGWIN32=notty" before executing bash. The tty setting must not change for that session of bash or the child process will be confused and will cause aborts with core dumps. - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- -earnie_boyd AT hotmail DOT com- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- Check out these great gnu-win32 related sites: ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32/latest/ (ftp site) http://www.cygnus.com/pubs/gnupro/ (Comercial Page) http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ (Project Page) http://www.cygnus.com/ml/gnu-win32 (Mail Archives) http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/winhelp-man-pages/ (HTML Man Pages) http://www.lexa.ru/sos (Sergey Okhapkin) ftp://www.lexa.ru/pub/domestic/sos/ (Sergey's ftp site) http://www.fu.is.saga-u.ac.jp/~colin/gcc.html (Colin Peters) http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ (Mumit Khan) http://gnu-win32.paranoia.ru (Chuck Bogorad's ports) ftp://ftp.deninc.com/pub (Den Internet Services - US mirror and ports) http://www.bestweb.net/~aka/gnu-win32/ (GNU-Win32 Bash Configuration) http://rcw.home.ml.org/ (Rob Warner - software ports) http://www.wenet.net/~garbanzo/gnuwin32/ (more - software portals) http://www.wenet.net/~garbanzo/gnuwin32/rpm (Redhat Package Manager) http://www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp/index_text.html (Andy Piper - ports) http://www.tiac.net/users/cgf (Christopher Faylor - package ports) SEARCH ENGINES WITH gnu-win32 mail archive RELATED INDICIES: http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=gnu-win32&r=1&w=2#gnu-win32 http://www.findmail.com http://www.search.com add gnu-win32 or gnuwin32 to the search criteria.
