Problem with cygwin-xfree mailimg list ?

1.5.25: Regtool can not find registry?

Hello, I had a working cygwin installation for several years on this machine. But then I decided to remove and reinstall it. (I reinstalled cygwin only, not the whole machine). Since the reinstall, regtool refuses to work. It always complains that it can not find the specified file. Strange en

ld library problems

I have some Linux code that uses ld and ld finds '.a' archive files when given a -L path. Cygwin's ld is not seeing these files and I have to specifically list them with -l. Anyone shine some light on this ? Do I have to use '.la' ? Or what ? Aaron -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.co

Turning off execute permission

I've been reading: http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-files on the execute permissions. Did I read that it was impossible to deny execute permissions?? In my tests, the follow is always "true" if a file has no execute permissions: (mode 666 or 000) [ -x apachectl ] test -
