The steps that you need to follow are: [lots of helpful info snipped] Hi Andrew, thank you for all the advice. I was able to succesfully compile the program under Cygwin. Unfortunately my hopes that the newest version of WWWOFFLE run directly in the newest version 2.6d of Cygwin would alleviate my 'child wwwoffle terminated by signal 11' problems have been disappointed. I thought that maybe you or somebody might be able to read something from the stackdump that helps to troubleshoot the problem. ,----- [ C:\cygwin\var\spool\wwwoffle\WWWOFFLED.EXE.stackdump ] | | Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=0040452E | eax=00000005 ebx=00000001 ecx=FFFFFFFF edx=14AD2340 esi=00000006 edi=00000001 | ebp=02600039 esp=0260FB18 program=C:\CYGWIN\USR\LOCAL\BIN\WWWOFFLED.EXE | cs=0137 ds=013F es=013F fs=0E9F gs=0000 ss=013F | Stack trace: | Frame Function Args | 13661 [main] wwwoffled 39154209 handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state |(probably corrupted stack) | `----- I am running Windows95 which Andrew earlier suspected might be the root of the problem. Does the stackdump prove this and does it show any further info as to exactly where the problem lies? Should indeed the memory handling of Cygwin under Win95 be faulty, I'd like to point that out to the Cygwin developers. BTW Andrew, are you sure that at least the newest versions of Cygwin are still not recommended for Win95? I never found any such message on any page related to Cygwin. This message is also posted to the regular wwwoffle-users@ ML since I felt that a straight cygwin setup closely mimics the *nix world which is predominant on that list. My sincere thanks to Andrew and anybody helping me decipher the logs. I am absolutely determined to get this program running ;-) Regards Rolf
