Bizarre Cygwin/Explorer/paths problem half-solved

I discovered today that if I try to run Windows Explorer from the Cygwin command line, and give it a pathname with spaces, it fails, but if I give the same command line to a cmd.exe command line, Explorer works! I.e. from Bash, explorer fails with an error message like "The path '/e,c:\temp\space

No longer a Cygwin issue (repros on Linux), but here's why if anyone interested: #include #include int main() { signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN); << Python putenv("M4=foo"); system("flex 1.l"); return 0; } Without ignoring sigpipe, flex dies reading the pipe of a failed-to-exec child, b

It seems that 'genisoimage' does not add correctly the symlinks to an iso image. Suppose that: $ ls -lrt /test/ totale 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 graziosi Users 77 Jun 11 23:00 hello.c lrwxrwxrwx 1 graziosi Users 7 Aug 4 12:32 hello -> hello.c Now: $ cd /tmp $ genisoimage -r -J -graft-points -V dati-1

Perl mktime/gmtime peculiarities (Inc. Testcase)

Hi All, I'm writing an application in Perl that processes a logfile with timestamps with differing timezones - One in UTC, and one in BST. For the uninitiated, BST, or British Summer Time is UTC, with Daylight savings time running from 1am on the last Sunday of March until 1am UTC/2am BST on the

Just another "me too": I use insight often and would be very disappointed to see it go. Of course, if that were to happen I'd just continune building it myself, but I think having it in the distro is very worthwhile, regardless of whether it becomes an X11 app or stays a GDI app. Brian -- Unsub
