Good day Cygwin gurus, I'm trying to run a very tiny app called dmidecode on cygwin (http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/dmidecode/dmidecode-2.9.tar.gz). The app is so small it takes 5 seconds for it to compile OOTB. For several years, I've compiled the app on Cygwin on several Pentium systems (even using non-updated Cygwin installations) and the thing had always worked properly.
This time, I got a mininotebook with a VIA processor and then, when I compile dmidecode, it doesn't work properly anymore. Please let me know if this is a Cygwin problem or a dmidecode problem. I can't give you more hardware details since I need dmidecode to get the hardware details. Thus, I'm a bit stuck with a recursive problem here. Here's what I do: $ tar -zxf dmidecode-2.9.tar.gz $ cd dmidecode-2.9 $ make gcc -W -Wall -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Winline -Wundef -O2 -c dmidecode.c -o dmidecode.o <snip> gcc dmidecode.o dmiopt.o dmioem.o util.o -o dmidecode <snip> <snip> $ ./dmidecode.exe # dmidecode 2.9 SMBIOS 2.5 present. 54 structures occupying 1495 bytes. Table at 0x3BEE3000. /dev/mem: mmap: Invalid argument Attached is cygcheck -svr. If you want to see "strace ./dmidecode.exe > strace.out 2>&1", it's on the link below: http://astra.ph/research/carlo/strace.out Thank you very much.
