How do I get the pik gem to play nicely with cygwin in Windows XP? Or is there another way to get multiple versions of ruby up and running easily in cygwin?
Pik looks great if you're stuck on a windows machine. The only problem is it appears to be set up for a windows command prompt, and I'm using cygwin. Whenever I try to switch to a different version of ruby in cygwin, it still just uses the default cygwin installation of ruby. $ pik list 186: ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [i386-m...

Recently, I switched from Visual Studio to Eclipse CDT. I've set it up beautifully such that the G++ compiler from my Cygwin installation can locate and compile my code without ado.

Hi all, One of our projects still uses CVS. Recently (sometime in the past year) the Cygwin cvs client (currently using 1.12.13) has given me problems when I update.

How to speed up Cygwin?
I have been running drush scripts (for drupal) with cygwin on my relatively fast windows machine, but I still have to wait about a minute for any drush command (specifically drush cache clear to execute).
