Re: Expand stack in Cygwin

2012-06-13 Thread Robert Lewis
Thanks to all who wrote.  Yes, the problem was that it should be Wl, not W1.  
(el not one)

That makes the compiler happy, and actually solves the odd crashing I was 
getting.

 Wrong, change the 1 to the letter l.

 That's probably something else.

Using a Mac to download Cygwin to Windows machine

2011-11-27 Thread Robert Lewis


Hello,

I am new here, and I thought I posted this yesterday. Apparently it didn't go 
through.

I want to install Cygwin on a Windows machine that does not have internet 
access. I want to use my Mac to download everything for Cygwin, then move all 
the files to the Windows machine with a flash drive. How do I do this?

I assume I would then run setup.exe on the Windows machine, and it will find 
all the files it needs on the flash drive. If necessary, I would of course copy 
all the files to the Windows computer. Please note, I DO NOT want to install 
Cygwin on the Mac.
