Re: rsync fork/exec problem with odd twist for native windows programs

2006-02-17 Thread Scott Bolte
Brett, Thanks for the suggestion. Switching from socketpair() to pipe() does let ssh get going, but rsync later runs into problems. A few minutes into the transfer it just hangs. Since I exercised ssh by transferring 16MB files back and forth for 1

rsync fork/exec problem with odd twist for native windows programs

2006-02-17 Thread Scott Bolte
I've found an rsync problem that might be another data point for the fork() (or exec()?) problems mentioned on the cygwin mailing list last fall. On one of my systems rsync hangs after it forks a cygwin program. Surprisingly, when it forks some native windows program, it completes. I started this

installing native gvim built from cygwin sources

2003-11-01 Thread Scott Bolte
Someone on this list mentioned it was possible to build a native version of gvim using the cygwin sources. I've done that and it's great, but I'm stumped on how to install it. After I run (cd /usr/src/vim*/src; make -f Make_cyg.mak IME=yes) I have a gvim.exe
