You're misunderstanding my daily use of Cygwin. I'm not compiling anything, not cygwin-related anyway. I'm using it as a bridging gap between sane scripting abilities of dash/make and insane requirements of compiling tools such as BRCC. And since Vista+ doesn't have support for 16-bit subsystem, I need XP VM to compile my projects. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, August 26, 2015 16:40:31 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
