I have a shell script that I want to execute this line: qtvars.bat vsstart "qt.sln" /BUILD "Debug|Win32" This works fine (though I had to modify qtvars.bat, but that's beside the point).

I have recently discovered that I can make windows executables with g++ that have no external dependencies, as long as I use the -mno-cygwin flag. My impression is that the compiler uses MinGW libraries instead of cygwin. Is this an effective way of using cygwin to build binaries without gpl licensing issues? Are there any technical si...
I realize this is almost identical to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/501290/windows-equivalent-of-the-mac-os-x-open-command and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/264395/linux-equivalent-of-the-mac-os-x-open-command, but I'm asking specifically about a command I can run in the Cygwin shell to use the current Windows UI application bo...

I've got a ruby script which takes about 30 seconds to startup. It takes that much because it tries to load all libraries and stuff. When I do "ruby.exe -v" it's instant. I don't want to touch the original ruby script, which is not written by me. What are the tricks to speed this process up? Can I precompile it? Can I precache al...
