2004-01-05 Thread koorapati_koundinya
Hey Cygwin users, I'm having problems compiling lyx using g++ version 3.3.1 (more specifically during the linking of various objects). I've attached a clip of the final build log. Please have a look at this. Any help or pointers on this will be much appreciated at this time as I'm blank on

Cygwin / pthreads / stdio problem

2004-01-05 Thread Dave Korn
Hi all, I've been having massive trouble getting the simplest of multithreaded code to run successfully under cygwin without crashing and memory corruption. I've now got a cut down testcase that as far as I can see shows the problem to be in cygwin / stdlib / libpthread rather than in my c

UNC paths in TeX

2004-01-05 Thread Sam Steingold

lstat returns an incorrect symbolic link size, with size 11 bytes too large. This causes mkcramfs to fail. CYGWIN variable is set to nowinsymlinks. Set to winsymlinks, the size is about 80 bytes too large. This is for a cygwin snapshot from September. This program generates the error for me. Creat
