Installing Cygwin as normal user in nonstandard location?
Hello, Can Cygwin be installed as a normal user (without Admin rights) in a nonstandard location, like C.\Users\martinwege\cygwinroot36\...)? Also, can this be done for more than one Cygwin version, e.g. I'd like to test multiple Cygwin versions in parallel. Thanks, Martin -- 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
LD_PRELOAD for Win32?
Hello, Does Cygwin or Win32 have something like LD_PRELOAD, so I can override/substitute functions in a DLL or EXE, like it is common for UNIX/Linux ELF shared libraries?

Why ask when you can just try both scenarios pretty easily?

Re: TeX Live 2024:: asympote 2.88-1 hangs after outputting a pdf

Hi! Thank you for maintaining cygwin texlive. I've updated texlive 20240312-1 and asymptote-2.88-1. But, now, asy hangs after outputting a pdf. How to reproduce: 1. Prepare test.asy: // test.asy dot((0,0)); // test.asy 2. `asy -vv test.asy` will successfully write test.eps. 3. But, `asy -vv -f pdf test.asy` will hang after gs produces test.pdf...

Re: Installing Cygwin as normal user in nonstandard location?
Greetings, Martin Wege! > Can Cygwin be installed as a normal user (without Admin rights) in a > nonstandard location, like C.\Users\martinwege\cygwinroot36\...)? Yes, and there's no such thing as "standard location". > Also, can this be done for more than one Cygwin version, e.g. I'd like > to test multiple Cygwin versions in parallel. Yes, Cygwin by default does not integrate into %PATH% and multiple different versions can be run even at the same time. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Sunday, May 26, 2024 08:55:34 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
