I need to find occurrences of "(+)" in my sql scripts, (i.e., Oracle outer join expressions). Realizing that "+", "(", and ")" are all special regex characters, I tried: grep "\(\+\)" * Now this does return occurrences of "(+)", but other lines as well. (Seemingly anything with open and close parens on the same line.) Recalling that ...
Hi all, I installed wxWidgets 2.8.9 on a Windows XP SP2 box and built the library according to the directions and now I'm trying to get the Hello World! tutorial app to build from within Eclipse and I'm just missing something apparently. Any idea how to get Cygwin, Eclipse and wxWidgets to play nice together? ...

I’m using the gcc in MinGW that comes with Strawberry Perl, on Windows XP. I’d like to have ddd (the Data Display Debugger) as well but apparently on Windows the simplest way to get ddd is by running Cygwin. So what's the bare minimum of Cygwin I can install to get ddd up and running? I'd prefer if I could run ddd natively on Win32 but t...
I can no longer use / at the windows xp command prompt, and it seems to have started after a botched cygwin installation, e.g. cd /windows won't work, but used to. Can anyone think of how this might have happened? OOPS! It doesn't normally work in XP, though I had read that it does in Vista. I simplified my problem and it was wrong. Th...
At work, I use Cygwin a lot because it offers me a small oasis in the vast desert of Windows. I inevitably end up running some non-Cygwin programs through the bash shell, such as build scripts (batch files created in-house) and the Subversion CLI binaries (I have the Windows ones installed). 99% of the time, I don't have any problems u...
I am running both maven inside the m2eclipse plugin, windows command line and my cygwin command line. cygwin's bash shell dumps artifacts into the cygwin /home/me/.m2 directory but m2eclipse & windows shell (on vista) uses /Users/me/Documents/.m2 Is it possible to tell the mvn command to use one central .m2 directory ? Thanks ...
Hey Guys, I can appreciate what I'm about to ask is a bit specific and a small niche but if you could provide some help you might actually let me keep some of my hair! I originally posted the query over on the FogBugz technical support page, but haven't had much joy. Basically I am using webSVN as a repository browser to provider log ...
I'm trying to safely update the home directory as specified in /etc/passwd, but the standard linux utils - usermod and vipw - for doing so aren't provided by cygwin. Could anyone tell me how they changed this in cygwin? If you know where these utils are hiding, that would be great. ...

When I try to commit the first revision to my git repository (git commit) from Cygwin, I'm getting an error in gvim which says "Unable to open swap file for "foo\.git\COMMIT_EDITMSG" [New Directory]. I think it might be some sort of permission problem, but I've tried removing the read-only flag from the folder, as well as recursively adj...
