Thanks for the report. I could reproduce your problem and found the cause. Windows native ninja creates pipe with size zero, which cannot be handled correctly by current cygwin pipe code (raw_write()). I will submit a patch for this issue shortly. -- Takashi Yano -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I.e. I would like that 'rm -fr' would remove a full directory tree, including such folders. Currently it will correctly remove anything inside such folders, but not the folder itself. As an example, for the following structure: C:/root/folder/C:/inside/file.txt When using 'rm -fr root', afterwards I have: C:/root/folder/C: It works fine if the folder is called, say, "a:b", it just doesn't work for a name which looks like a drive letter "x:", apparently. That is indeed interesting, I was not aware of it! Then maybe the problem is not so hard to solve? That would be awesome! To the contrary. The problem is the ambiguity that "X:/foo" might be either the absolute POSIX path $CWD/X:/foo, or the absolute DOS path "X:\foo". I have a patch which fixes your case, but not much else. The problem is that we historically allow DOS paths as input at all. That was a bad decision from the start, but you can't easily change 25 years of history... Oh my, I see! All the more thanks for so quickly patching support for this use case. Its highly appreciated!

So one way to approach this would be to bisect the XEmacs git repo to find the commit that introduced the bug. You'd probably have to do the work on 32-bit Cygwin since, if I remember correctly, XEmacs 21.4 didn't build on 64-bit Cygwin. Right, although I _suspect_ it will be in 64-bit-only code. Easy enough to find out, once I resurrect a 32-bit install on a spare machine that I can run 3.3 on (I use XEmacs all day every day from my day job, so I need to stay with 3.2 until we fix this). I had actually tested the 32-bit case before suggesting the bisection. The bug does occur there too. And, as Andrey said, you don't need to use a spare machine. You can have as many parallel Cygwin installs as you want on a single machine, some 64-bit and some 32-bit.

Fixing permissions issue, appears as "Unknown package" error at end of setup run
I've read through the Cygwin FAQ, googled around, and I wasn't able to find the appropriate answer, which is why I'm sending it to this mailing list. Apologies if this is not the correct place. At the end of setup-x86_64.exe run, I get a popup about an Unknown package error.
