I tried to find out what processes emacs-w32 is starting for my custom
TRAMP method.
"strace -f emacs-w32" fails.
I expected to succeed with procmon & its filter " Command/ Process Start".
Unfortunately procmon [1] doesn't report "argv" if a Cygwin executable is
started from a Cygwin executable.

I'm using Cygwin for two reasons: mintty + Emacs w32.
Nowadays WSL 1 has become important (vendors provide ready to work
.deb packages,
I use: Ansible + Google Cloud SDK, if name any).
Still WSL 1 lacks UI and integrates less smoothly into my workflow
to replace Cygwin's amazing Emacs W32.

Found the problem: Emacs fails on its "unlock-buffer" call from
emacs/src/filelock.c.

Hi!
What way can I pass env var "CYGWIN" to the Cygwin service?
There are no that many influential options here:
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html
I can think of "winsymlinks:native" or "wincmdln".
Process Explorer shows following env vars for Cygwin's Exim process:

Normally does, no doubt.
So I made `srv.c`:
#include
int main() {
sleep(60);
}
compiled:
gcc -o srv.exe srv.c
registered:

Today I reinstalled Cygwin & Exim.
"exim-config" script asked me:
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: []
/usr/bin/exim-config has line with:
I interact with Cygwin via mintty launched as "Win+R mintty Enter".
During first launch of "exim-config" script existed with an error:
/usr/bin/exim-config: line 447: USER: unbound variable
After looking into docs I got that mintty should be launched with a parameter
"-".
Probably it was alw

What does "native Windows build"?
Seems lighttpd is still Cygwin app:
$ ldd /usr/sbin/lighttpd.exe

Cool, I use a lot but didn't know you can pass args!

Sometimes it is useful to have GNU utils at hands. I use Far Commander and in

I figured it out myself that I have to avoid "python3-*" packages and instead
to work with "python36-*" or "python38-*" as "python3-*" packages are marked
as "category: _obsolete" in setup.bz2.
Are there any docs that describes policy for python packages in Cygwin?
