Hi there,
I have recently installed Cygwin (version 1.3.12-2) on Windows 2k (SP2) and
have been trying to evaluate by developing some small programs. One of these
uses named pipes. However none of the named pipes functions seem to work -
all return -1.
Example:
retcode = unlink ("aPipe");
retcode = mknod ("aPipe", S_IFIFO, 0);
retcode = chmod ("aPipe", 0660);
fd = open ("aPipe", O_RDONLY);
return code for all functions is -1.
I have two programs, one is a writer to the named pipe and the other a
reader and even if I try to ignore the error codes the named pipe
communication doesn't work.
Has anyone seen this problem? Have I setup the environmet incorrectly (file
system is FAT32)? Or is this a known bug?
Any information on this problem would be a help.
Regards,
Chris Mulligan.
