hello, i'm runing cygwin (1.5.25?) under win xp sp2 and i ran a simple test which was supposed to measure the speed of pthread_mutex_lock, increment, pthread_mutex_unlock compared to interlocked increment and windows critical section. the thing is that cygwin's pthread_mutex_lock performs quite l

I'm running into a problem with a previously-working installation of cygwin on Windows 2003 server. I had installed a few extra packages, and updated all packages to the latest while attempting to set up Tinderbox. Now, I can no longer reliably open a cygwin bash prompt. The console window opens

Cygwin doesn't install on Windows Server 2008 (x64).

Problem: Cygwin won't install (it hangs in the post-install scripts). Symptoms: Deterministically hangs when running the post-install scripts. Running in compatibility mode with Windows Server 2003 no longer helps, as it used to help in the past with the beta and CTP versions of Windows Server 20

Hi, I'm positive about that, I just retried that on a clean machine. I'd be happy to send you logs or other debug info if you just tell me what you would need. I've looked at the log in C:\cygwin\var, but the file size is 0, the setup is probably not flushing the stuff it writes to the file. The
