2013-08-22 Thread puetzk
After installing cygwin64 on a fresh machine tonight (see attached cygcheck.txt for exact versions), quilt failed to run because perl was missing a dll: $ quilt refresh /usr/bin/perl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cygssp-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

autorebase.bat stalls during setup-x86.exe

If you try something like this from a Cygwin 64 install: $ /cygdrive/c/cygwin32/bin/ls you get an error like this: 3 [main] ls (8168) C:\cygwin32\bin\ls.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x0/0x612A0950. It goes on to explain that this is due to trying to load
