FYI: latest bison generates syntax error

Just updated my bison recently (bison-2.1-1) and now the generated y.tab.c file has an extra semicolon in it that causes the compiler to choke: #ifdef YYPARSE_PARAM # if defined (__STDC__) || defined (__cplusplus) int yyparse (void *YYPARSE_PARAM) # else i

[1.7] cygpath broken?

I'm seeing some really weird behavior with cygpath in cygwin 1.7 on Vista Home Premium. For instance, if I'm in my home directory and there's an image.png file in it: $ ls -l image.png -rwxrwxrwx 1 gregc None 6211 Apr 5 16:00 image.png $ cygpath -u image.png im

Re: [1.7] cygpath broken?

Thank you Corinna for looking into this. So I tried rebuilding cygwin1.dll in 1.7 with gcc-4 from the instructions in http://cygwin.com/cvs.html and http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin, and while the make didn't finish (perl hung -- "... fatal error - unable

Re: Status of gcc 3.4.4-2

I'm actually hoping to skip 3.4.4-2 and get gcc 3.4.6 or 4.1.1. When I compile my application with 3.4.4, I'm getting an "internal compiler error" that I don't get with 3.4.6 on Linux. Any news about a newer version of gcc for cygwin? Greg Couch -- Un

regtool gives different results than reg

My system is a 64-bit Windows 7 system with the latest cygwin installed and Corinna's unsupported cyglsa64.dll from 29 Jan 2010. And for this bug I have the 64-bit version of Python 2.6.4 installed (not cygwin's) and I'm doing these tests on the console, not ssh (but the same bug appears when ssh

ssh fails to start on Windows XP

FYI, I just upgraded cygwin on my Windows XP system from 1.7.18 to 1.7.27 and ssh no longer works. Runing under gdb gives: $ gdb /bin/ssh.exe (gdb) run gdb: unknown target exception 0xc139 at 0x7c9673be During startup program exited with code 0xc139. Installing openssh-de

Re: ssh fails to start on Windows XP

So recompiling opensll and openssh didn't fix the problem, but switching to a cygwin1.dll snapshot that I downloaded debugging an earlier problem from Nov 29, 2013 did fix the problem. "cygcheck -s -v -r" for the working cygwin1.dll gives: 3043k 2013/11/29 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0
