My apologies for the second call, it seemed my request was ignored and it was not clear why.
I just want to add that I am surprised you have not been able to reproduce the problem with qt designer. I have tried cygwin update and clean install on three different computers runnning xp sp2 (one being a virtual pc - vmware) and all three installations displayed this problem. Downgrading to 1.5.18-1 removed the problem on all three. Anyway, I will heed your suggestions, and thank you for your time. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Larry Hall (Cygwin)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: cygwin@cygwin.com Date: Mon, 08 May 2006 23:07:04 -0400 Subject: Re: Cygwin 1.5.19-4 issues Virgil Adumitroaie wrote:
Hi, This is my second call to the cygwin developers. There is a problem with cygwin 1.5.19-4 (on windows xp sp2).
Why is a second call required? The first was plenty good enough. And actually, revisiting the issue so quickly can actually work against your intentions.
The qt designer (/usr/lib/qt3/bin/designer) crashes and its compilation from source fails.
Sorry, I can't reproduce the crash of which you speak. I didn't attempt to compile the source.
You might not care about matplotlib, but the "gcc: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable" which I get during compilation, indicates some other trouble.
I believe you have gotten a pointer on this issue already so I won't comment further.
Please let me know if you think otherwise, or if you don't get the same behavior. What changes made between 1.5.19-4 and 1.5.18-1 could produce these problems?
Ah, now there's the $1,000,000 question. Obviously, if there was a known cause of this, there would already be a patch. So your efforts in tracking this down would be beneficial. You may want to start with a recent snapshot to see if it would help or hurt. Any recent snapshot is going to give you good insight into the capabilities of 1.5.20, which is pending release. Perhaps it would be best to read and follow the problem reporting guidelines outlined here:
