Hi there, I've been struggling with an issue trying to figure out why Windows 8.1 won't seem to respect the trick of setting your /etc/password to use a default group such as users instead of 'none'. There are a few other discussions on this board around changing the group to "Users" and modi

Well, actually, I take that back. Today I'm still having the same issue. :frustrated: If I ever figure it out I'll let you know. Maybe it's just Sublime Text that is the issue and I'll just have to use something else. On 1/8/2014 12:49 PM, Corinna Vinschen wrote: O

How to profile DLL built by Cygwin

First, I hope that I am using the "mailing list" system correctly... if not, bear with me I have an executable using a DLL. The DLL is built using -g -pg. Running the executable, however, does not produce a gmon.out. file. Cygwin version is 1.7.33. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. A. -- Pr
