[OT] rxvt/UTF-8

Hi, I'm quite sure this is not Cygwin related, but maybe someone can give me a pointer. I'm using rxvt without X to access all my hosts. Recently I added a box with UTF-8 output (Ubuntu 5.10) and found there is a special version urxvt somewhere, but I couldn't find it in the packages. Is there

Re: serial ports

Dave Korn schrieb: Trying to mix win32 perl and cygwin is a recipe for tears. Sure, use CPAN modules, that is of course a good idea; but if the *nix one doesn't work under cygwin, fixing it or rolling your own or even just using the bog-standard file i/o features in perl is definitely far

Re: serial ports

Christopher Faylor schrieb: Actually, ls /dev/ttyS3 *does* display proper information. It is ls /dev which does not show all virtual devices. You're absolutely right: $ ls /dev log= But I can even list ports that definitely do not exist: $ ls /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS1 ... $ ls /dev/ttyS15

serial ports

Hi, I'd like to use the serial port from perl on my notebook. This port is connected via an usb-adapter and referred as COM4: on Windows. I couldn't find any /dev/ttySx and I'm not sure if this is even supported. Is this possible under Cygwin? -- Oliver Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics

font

Hi, I'd like to use Courier New as font for Cygwin, but the only choices I've got are Lucida Console and Rasterschriftart. One solution is to use PuTTY to connect via ssh to localhost, but I think this is a bit of overkill. Is there another posiibility? -- Oliver -- Unsubscribe info:

Hi Brian, Brian Dessent schrieb: No. It's a fundamental limit of the FAT filesystem that will never go away. Certainly nothing in Cygwin will affect it because Cygwin does not implement any low level filesystem code of its own, it relies on the windows API for that. I misunderstood a

Re: 1.5.14-1: child died

Hi Corinna, Please test the latest snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ I'm rather confident that it solves your problem. Sorry for delay, but I returned from a journey today. You are right, my installation works like charm again. Thank you very, very much! Regards, Oliver --

Re: 1.5.14-1: child died

Anyway, it could also be a permissions problem: maybe because its a restricted user, the child process is in some way prevented from accessing the object created by the parent and it can't notify it. But that's just guesswork. I think your next most informative option might be to use
