Re: Re: Another problem using GDB
I'd highly recommend thoroughly exploring the information provided at www.cygwin.com for answers before resorting to any "external" web site for Cygwin information. While there may be good information on Cygwin elsewhere, it's the Cygwin web site that gets the most scrutiny and is a much more reliable source of quality information overall. To be honest, it's a real goal to have this site be the "one-stop shopping" for all your Cygwin needs. Folks who want to disseminate Cygwin information are encouraged to do it at the Cygwin web site. But that's a bit of a different issue. ;-) In any case, the Cygwin community maintains the Cygwin web site only and strives to keep it current, correct, and useful. Other sites are outside our control and in general, not recommended resources.

Good advice since, in this case, the web page is 100% wrong and we don't want to be policing other people's web pages. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Faylor say that we should be looking at Google for >answers rather than pestering the list ... I generally tell people to use the resources at the project web site when it is a cygwin question. I don't recall telling people to read documentation elsewhere -- quite the contrary I've frequently asked people to contribute documentation improvements here. However, if you want to use google, then, as long as you are vaguely remembering what has been said, let me refresh your memory: Add a site:cygwin.com to the search term. >On a related issue, I can't use the search function in the mail >archives - it always times out on me ...

Re: Re: Another problem using GDB
OK, maybe I didn't say this right. Let me try again. Please treat all information as provided by the Cygwin web site as superior to information derived from other web sites when researching Cygwin. It's not necessary to use the Cygwin email archives search engine to find information on the Cygwin site (although this is not a discouraged mechanism either, assuming you're looking for information in the Cygwin email archives). But if there are two sources of information for a Cygwin topic you're researching, choose the Cygwin site as paramount if that's an option. If you find the information from the Cygwin site to be incorrect, let the email list know ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). If you find information about Cygwin at another site which is wrong, let that site know. If you can't find any information that's helpful in your research, ask the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). It's appropriate to query the list if you've done due diligence in your research but still can't find an answer. Does that help clarify things?
