I never saw an exit status of 57, EBFONT. Actually, this error is never generated by cygserver, cygrunsrv, or any Cygwin function. > <<cygcheck.out>> You cygcheck output shows that you have multiple copies of the Cygwin DLL installed in $PATH. That's a no-no. You should either remove the following paths from $PATH C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\Exe C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\PPCTools20m\Bin and reboot, or get rid of the two cygwin1.dll's C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\Exe\cygwin1.dll C:\app\tools\dSPACE51\PPCTools20m\Bin\cygwin1.dll The first of them is the very old 1.3.19 release, the second is a very suspicious one which claims to be version 2.1.0, which doesn't exist as official release number. You should ask the provider of the tools under C:\app\tools\dSPACE51 what this is supposed to be. I wouldn't trust it. Any of the above actions should fix your problem.
