$ pacman -Su :: Starting core system upgrade... warning: terminate other MSYS2 programs before proceeding resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... Packages (3) mintty-1~3.0.2-1 msys2-runtime-3.0.7-6 pacman-5.1.3-3 [...] warning: terminate MSYS2 without returning to shell and check for updates again warning: for example close your terminal window instead of calling exit This happens because msys-2.0.dll keeps a shared memory segment between all instances MSYS2 applications, so they behave as if they were in a Unix system. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
