Text entry to command line program

I've been having a problem for a while now on my XP laptop with an Oracle program (sqlplus). When I start sqlplus, it prompts for a user id and then a password. When I run it from the windows shell (cmd.exe) it works as expected, i.e. the user id is echoed and the password is not: c:\$temp>sqlpl

RE: setup change this year?

Having used the resizable setup v. 2.418 for a while (under both Win98se and XP), I prefer the resizable with "awkward other panels" than the non-resizable. Actually, there need not be anything awkward. One can just run setup at the default size, and when one gets to the package chooser, one clic

RE: Plausibility of sendmail?

As far as whether it gets in the cygwin distribution, it is primarily a function of whether someone is willing to port it to cygwin and maintain it. Otherwise, it won't. Someone asks about sendmail for cygwin periodically but I have never seen anyone express an interest in actually doing the por

The opt* variables are declared __declspec(dllimport) in Cygwin's headers. So when you're program refers to optarg after having included Cygwin's (or ), the symbol your program links to is called __imp__optarg. Presumably, the opt* variables were not declared dllimport when libiberty was compi

Hello. I suspect that this is a FAQ, but I haven't found it, so I'll ask it! Unlike linux / *BSD / etc distributions, it doesn't seem easy to automate the cygwin install utility. I don't seem able to get a list of installed packages, give a package to install from a given file, examine the pac

WinCvs hangs with cygwin 1.5.7

Well, indirectly, anyway. For the moment, this is a heads-up for WinCvs users, rather than a bug report against Cygwin. WinCvs tries to search for and load a "tcl8x.dll" (to run tcl/tk macros). It tries tcl85, 85, ... in a bunch of known places. If it finds a Cygwin-compiled tcl84.dll first (tc
