Howdy, I had installed cygwin and used it for some months. Then I had to install another tool (crestron SIMPL+ compiler) and discovered that cygwin no longer worked. It turns out that the SIMPL+ compiler is based around a cygwin gcc cross compiler. So I need to have two simultaneous cygwin environments.
At the moment, I'm managing with a pair of registry-mangling scripts: one that removes the crestron entries and restores the cygwin entries, and a second script that removes cygwin and installs crestron. It works, but it's fairly cumbersome. I've searched the archives and found a couple of previous threads, such as http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg00625.html, but not much enlightenment. I gather that the two impediments to separate installs are: the shared registry entries, and a shared memory location. I read that you can get around these with a recompile (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg00651.html). But I can't find any details on how to build a cygwin that does not interfere with the official cygwin. Is there a configure-time option? Or do you edit the file winsup/cygwin/include/cygwin/version.h to change CYGWIN_INFO_CYGNUS_REGISTRY_NAME? What about the shared memory region?
