As per original email - SP6a. Harold - forgot to mention, this isn't a problem with the build for XFree86, this is Cygwin specific, so cross-compilational has nothing to do with the problem. The problem just shows up when compiling XFree86.
My guess is that the cygwin1.dll is returning an -EACCES message back to userland, and it manifests itself on NT4. I was really just enquiring if people had seen this on their systems. It seems I should ask this question deeper on the cygwin list. Alan. On Wed, Oct 03, 2001 at 08:42:02AM -0400, Suhaib Siddiqi wrote: > Alan, > > Service pack? This is NT 4.0 specific...
