I know this may not sound very helpful, but the B19 version is extremely outdated and has not ever really supported the Win95 machines very well. I am well aware of deadline pressure. The latest release is using newer flex/bison utilities and has a number of upgrades to everything including the shell, binutils, compiler and a tc/tkl based debugger(Insight/Gdb). It may be the quickest solution, though I doubt that it actually directly addresses the problem you've been having with bison/flex...at any rate, forgive me, please --- but I need to ask: Why not simply update your Cygwin development environment to the latest Cygwin release (1.1.2)? The latest download release includes precompiled flex/bison as standard download packages afair (as far as I remember). If you are working on developing binutils, the latest binutil update included with Cygwin download will proove to be a great improvement over Cygwin B19 -- believe me, I've used both over the years. If the problem persists (after about an hour of download time depending on your line speeds and a recompile), then we, the mailing list, can better answer the question...in fact, the question may become moot...I hope that this helps... Peace, Paul G. Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
