Re: PLEASE TEST: Latest Cygwin snapshot == 1.5.10 alpha

2004-05-20 Thread Eric Hanchrow
For what it's worth, the snapshot appears to fix a problem that I've had building CVS guile -- briefly: the built guile would (when used to build the documentation) immediately die with an error message from Windows. I'd be happy to provide more details if anyone's interested. -- If you can't

I have a script that generates interface bindings by reading header files. (It's sort of a crude homemade version of `swig'.) I want this script to run not just when any of the files changes, but also if any of those files _gets deleted_. So I decided to write a rule like this: bindings:

I now suspect that this problem is simply due to the chipset not being supported in this version of the X server. My comments about the server working, but then locking up, were probably in reference to an experimental version (4.3.0) of the X server that I'd installed (and then forgotten about!)
