Re: Can't see full list in setup.exe

Hi, I haven't given up on cygwin. I'll try and build my own installer on another machine. My problem was I was using cygwin/XFree/XWin on a 'production' machine as sub. for a proper KVM system. I'll go back to basics and prove my usage on a development system first. Meanwhile I've rigged my KVM up

Hi, Thanks. I got a build to make for 2.303 using the instructions on http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html And it runs and exhibits the fault on the original prod. machine (of cause it naturally works on my development machine..what doesn't!). I've got the software (XP Pro) and as man

Hi, Found the reason but not the cure. In PickPackageLine::paint there is a If (Win32::OS() == Win32::WinNT) {...} trap My duff (production!) machine does not enter this. When code is forced all is OK. Both machines (prod and development) are XP Pros. I'll find out all about this, it looks legal

Re: Can't see full list in setup.exe

Hi, Further tracing leads me to conclude that Win32.cc uses an old structure for calling GetVersionEx. MSDN now seem to use OSVERSIONINFOEX structues instead of OSVERSIONINFO and then bodge a cast. Their example http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/bas e/gett
