That said, if it supports the Win32 API (as it probably does ;-), there's a *possibility* that it could be made to work, but you're on your own for debugging it. If it's missing the DOS NUL device, then that's it - Cygwin depends on that device being present. Please check the Microsoft knowledge base for a NUL device on XP embedded, and try to figure out how your installation is missing it. -- 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/
