I work in an environment where we have been using cygwin 1.5 and cygwin/X (along with xterm, mintty, and putty) on a variety of Windows XP desktops, as well as an older cygwin 1.7, cygwin/X, and a variety of pretty traditional packages on development XP desktops.
Now we are considering creating a single distribution to be used across the board, but set up to run on Windows 7. Two specific questions we were wondering about - are there any recommendations from you who have begun using cygwin on Windows 7 about things we should consider during the configuration? Also, we have some java developers who have commented in the past that trying to start, manage, and stop java processes were more difficult in cygwin than using other similar toolsets (which live purely in the windows process model). Are there any HOWTOs or other useful documents for configuring cygwin to allow a developer to live with processing that has to straddle the windows and cygwin environment. Thank you all for your continued useful suggestions. -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. http://wiki.tcl.tk/ Larry W.
