Should be straightforward to build. The source package includes a cygport script, and a couple of small patches (unison2.40-2.40.16-1.src.patch) that are needed in order for Unison to build in Cygwin. Also, since OCaml was upgraded to 3.12.0 in Cygwin, the following additional small patch is needed or the build will fail. I'll issue a new release soon that includes that patch, so people can still build it with OCaml 3.12.0.

I do suggest you change your passwords for both that system and for

I just discovered what was going on. Someone had cloned the two bash
aliases I most often use as scripts in a folder of the same name in my
root Cygwin folder. Both of them had content similar to this:
set -x
function laugh(){
pwd
cd /cygdrive/c/taiga/
pwd
cd "$PWD"
}
laugh
(The above is "smith" in the main /scripts folder and "smith.sh" in the
sub-folder in which I keep edits.)
With a change to my ssh and system password, it's likely it will be a
while before this sort of thing happens again. I plan in the meantime to
srm these files and attempt to better secure the /scripts folder, its
local access as well.

libtermcap.a in cygwin 1.7.7.1
Hello, Recently I had uninstalled my previous version of cygwin (1.5.24) and did a fresh install of latest cygwin (1.7.7.1) When I tried to recompile my code it failed because of libtermcap.a not found. This termcap library is needed by my code. Further investigation shows that this library is missing from this latest cygwin installer package. As far as I know, the termcap library is provided under "terminfo" or the older "termcap" cygwin package. During my installation, I had included all the "devel" packages. # administra...@engwin03-64dev1 ~ $ cygcheck -c "cygwin" Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status cygwin 1.7.7-1 OK administra...@engwin03-64dev1 ~ $ cygcheck -c | egrep "ncurses|terminfo|termcap" libncurses-devel 5.7-18 OK libncurses10 5.7-18 OK libncurses8 5.5-10 OK libncurses9 5.7-16 OK libncursesw-devel 5.7-18 OK libncursesw10 5.7-18 OK ncurses 5.7-18 OK ncurses-demo 5.7-18 OK ncursesw 5.7-18 OK ncursesw-demo 5.7-18 OK termcap 5.7_20091114-14 OK terminfo 5.7_20091114-14 OK terminfo0 5.5_20061104-12 OK administra...@engwin03-64dev1 ~ $ # Does anyone has faced similar issue?

unison 2.40.16 (cygwin) over ssh doesn't resume after merge command
Hi all,
This is forwarded from the unison-users mailing list. Original post at
the bottom...
Executive summary: unison 2.40.16 (cygwin) freezes upon exit of a merge
command, but only when one root is ssh. Works fine when both are local.
Testing the MSVC build of 2.40.16 also works fine with a ssh-root.
I'm up to date with cygwin 1.7 repositories.
Any hints are welcome! As a last resort, I'll have to dive into
building unison on cygwin myself.
Cheers,
Robert
Original Message
Thanks, Harald!
However, I'm fairly committed to using cygwin in many respects (I
synchronize a substantial set of portable tools, scripts and data
between all my servers and workstation (about 10 in total)), and would
prefer keep it that way.
The debug message is the last debug output (using -debug all) before
unison "freezes". I deemed the other messages to be unimportant - I
realize I may have been mistaken.
The problem seems to be easily reproducible on several of my
workstations using the command line I posted, and doesn't seem to depend
on any specifics of my setup.
I have now done the test with the MSVC build of 2.40.16 (as client,
against a cygwin unison+ssh "server"), and the problem does NOT occur.
So it seems to be a problem with the cygwin port.
What's the best way to proceed? I've never built unison myself, so I'm
a bit stumped.
Cheers,
Robert

Why still using unison over cygwin?
2.40.16 supports Unicode, so no problem syncing between Win/Linux/Mac.
(The first two of them I can confirm)
If you want to give it a try, sync your directories (if not working with
2.40.16, then with an older version which worked for you) and after that
sync directly with 2.40.16 without cygwin (I use putty/plink for ssh).
“The debug message” is from Option -debug all? Or is this just what it
prints out if you start the commando without debug option?

*Betreff:* [unison-users] unison 2.40.16 (cygwin) over ssh doesn't
resume after merge command
Hi,
After the upgrade to 2.40.16, I've had problems with unison simply
freezing when the merge command has finished - as if it is still waiting
for the process to exit.
This always happens when syncing local to a remote location over ssh,
but never when syncing two local roots.
A sample command line (using a simple cp instead of my merge script):
unison -root / -root ssh://mylo...@myserver//
-path
home/private/Documents/test.txt -merge "Name {*.txt} -> cp CURRENT1 NEW"
-backupcurrent "Name {*.txt}" -debug all
The last debug message is:
Merge command: cp '/home/private/Documents/.unison.merge1-test.txt'
'/home/private/Documents/.unison
.mergenew1-test.txt'
After which, unison seems to wait indefinitely.
Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?
