General question on the status of named pipes

2011-10-24 Thread Nathan Thern
I have several scripts that use named pipes for the purpose of processing sound files. I use them on both linux and cygwin. After the switch to cygwin1.7 I converted most of them to the use of tempfiles. Nevertheless, when encountering old scripts in my archives or when trying to create efficient n

I am attempting (for probably the tenth time) to compile the GHC haskell compiler. The problem with GHC is that the windows version is compiled with MinGW, and cygwin is considered to be nothing other than a MinGW alternative. IOW, the source code is riddled with assumptions that if you are buildi
