Especially as csih-0.9.x requires cygwin-1.7. I've uploaded a csih-0.9.5-1 as a 'test' release. Changes: * native/Makefile: Avoid -mno-cygwin and gcc3; use mingw cross compiler. * native/winProductName.c (GetOSDisplayString): Support Windows 8 and Windows Server 8. Improve support for various Microsoft OS products. * New functions csih_is_windows8(), csih_is_exactly_windows8(), and csih_is_exactly_windows8server(). * In csih_account_has_necessary_privileges(), no longer attempt to validate membership in Administrators group -- the test doesn't work properly on domains anyway. Just try to set the necessary rights and report error if the operation fails. Reported by Corinna Vinschen. * In csih_create_privileged_user(), don't attempt to check whether /usr/bin/passwd has the -e option; all versions of passwd shipped with cygwin-1.7.x support it. Reported by Tom Schutter. * Fixed bug related to the various existing csih_is_exactly_* functions. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
