  Yep, works fine.  E.g. as long as you don't use a path (notepad wouldn't
understand it), "notepad file.txt" works fine to edit file.txt in the current
dir.

  Note that you'll have to remember and use d2u on any script files you edit
with notepad or wordpad etc.

If you cannot find the answers you need in the existing documentation or

help,
they will.

I am going to doing it, specially from a newbie point of view (i.e. how
to install and automatically open Gnome when starting Cygwin).

It should work fine.  Can't you just "break file.c:1337"?

No History from earlier logins

[curator]

Hi,
I got some problem with my cygwin installation. In my .bashrc file, i export
HISTFILE to a new file. When this is done, i have a history on every login,
but when i close the shell, all data is lost. So i went to delete the
command in the bashrc, which relocates the history file. When this was done,
i had no active history left anymore, but when i touched "curser up", some
commands i did not use a long time ago appeard, but so actual ones. I found
out, that the "old command" were left in der bash_history file, which seems
to be the original file. 

What can i do to get my normal history back, also over a logout?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Alex

Re: xemacs

[Jim Marshall]

Taras D wrote:

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me why the following has occurred.

When I first installed cygwin, I pretty much just installed xemacs (no
emacs and a whole bunch of other stuff). Xemacs could be started from
the bash script (black background) with the command 'xemacs &'. It
would start in a new window with a white background.

Now that I have installed a whole bunch of other cygwin things:

1) I find I need to run startxwin.sh, then type 'xemacs &' in the
shell with a white background (no longer runs from the black
background)
2) xemacs now starts with a grey bacground (?!)

How come this has changed? Is it a different version of xemacs?

Thanks all

I would suspect you installed the X Server functionality which in turn 
installed the X Windows version of that program. To start xemacs without 
it starting a new window use the "-nw' command line option (xemacs -nw). 
You should be able to do this from the non-X cygwin terminal (the one 
you refer to as the black windows)

Works fine on my Windows XP Pro machine using the same GDB and gcc 
version 3.4.4. What gcc version do you have?


The stack trace would indicate that the crash is occurring before it 
gets to your main function, since that code doesn't have debug symbols 
you get addresses.

I always find

works best in a DOS console, it has the benefit of resetting the

Cygwin possible to run under wine?

[Jani Saksa]

Hi - One thing I need cygwin is to test if my perl, etc. applications 
run also under cygwin and it would be much easyer (partly because I have 
a very low end machine) to use wine instead of running windows under 
vmware (and I only run linux as the actual OS on this system so double 
booting, etc. is not an option)...


So does anyone have experience on running cygwin under wine and if so, 
could someone point possible problems, flaws, etc. in that way compared 
to running under genuine windows system?

We're saying that when you reply, your email client adds unnecessary headers
to your reply that include the email addresses of individuals and the list.
This is not necessary and is considered "bad manners" on the Cygwin lists.


Use a better email server and program.


I think you're missing the point.  If you won't abide by the rules and
requests of these lists, what would motivate others to respond to your
inquiries?


Really, you think I am not going to forwarding the Cygwin wiki. You are

I'm not sure what this refers to in Phil's email.

FWIW, you're free to forward anything you want to anybody you wish.  As
far as this list is concerned, we will encourage users to use the resources
available at the Cygwin site since that's what we, as a community, maintain.
If you would like to help out in that regard, that's great!  If not, that's
your choice as well.

You were quoting the header in your replies which contained email
addresses in it.  It isn't encouraged because it helps spammers out.
Your case is particularly disturbing because it was the mailing list
email address that was getting quoted and we are already starting to see
the occasional spam message make it through.

  logger conflicts with logger from inetutils-1.3.2-37

There is now also a last.1 man page from sysvinit-2.84-4 which conflicts

I've told you on the X list, and I'm pretty sure CGF and Larry have
