I need an offline installer with most of the utilities commonly needed. Somehow the default installer confuses me with all its package selection. I installed Cygwin but I can't find the diff utility after the installation. ...
I have script lets say: C:\foo.bsh I want to be able to run this command via the windows run command: Start -> Run Windows Key + R and type something small like 'foo' and hitting return. However, I do not want a cmd prompt to be visible. This script does some preprocessing for an IDE. I do not want the cmd prompt to be open for t...
After migrating to Windows, I'm using msysgit with its included bash shell, and that's working well for me. But I have issues: our ant build process won't run in that shell, I'd like to use Cygwin's xterms instead of the Windows command window, since the terminal compatibility isn't good enough to run everything else I'd like in that wi...
Today I run Cygwin with rxvt using the following startup line: rxvt -bg black -sl 8192 -fg white -sr -g 150x56 -fn "Fixedsys" -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i This gives me a resizeable native Windows window which is much better than the standard "DOS box" the default cygwin.bat provides. However, the current configuration does have a co...
Some cygwin commands are .exe, so you can run them with the standard Windows Scheduler, but others are not .exe extension so cant be run from dos (it seems like). For example I want updatedb to run nightly. Any ideas on how to make cron work? ...
I'd like to port an application written under linux to windows. Currently I'm using Cygwin but I'm curious if there are any other options that don't force me to release my source since I'm not in the position to do so right now. Are there any other options short of having to completely re-write it or buying a license? ...
I've tried executing the following: #!C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe ls ${WORKSPACE} But that doesn't find ls (even if it's on the windows path). Is there any way to set this up? UPDATE: In other words, I want to be able to set up a build step that uses cygwin bash instead of windows cmd like this page shows you how to do with Python. ...
I was able to install the sshd service (after A LOT of problems), and was able to ssh on the machine that I installed it on by saying ssh [email protected] AND ssh localhost. However, all other machines on my local area network could not ssh to it. I checked and port 22 was indeed open, and SSH was listening on that port. Anyone gone thr...
I install cygwin frequently enough that it would be handy to have the process automated. Specifically, I want to be able to specify ahead of time the packages that I want to install, so that I don't have to remember them at install-time. Is there any way to do this? ...

I'm trying to debug a program using gdb mode in emacs. It was compiled with g++, and I'm using cygwin. My program takes one command line argument, and also takes input from stdin, which I redirect from a file, like this: program.exe inputFile.dat <otherInput.dat The problem is, gdb is sending the string "<otherInput.dat" as a comma...

I want to make my C++ project cross platform, and I'm considering using Cygwin/MinGW. But what is the difference between them ? Another question is whether I will be able to run the binary on a system without Cygwin/MinGW ? ...
When I'm linking .o files with the LD linker using MinGW on Windows, it gives me the error "file.o: File not recognized: file format not recognized". I've tried to do it with cygwin instread, but the same thing happens. Any suggestions? ...
I plan to migrate my projects over to git, and I'm currently wondering which is the best and / or most stable option under windows. From what I gather I basically have 2.5 options: MSYSgit git under Cygwin (aka 2.5) MSYSgit from a Cygwin prompt (given that Cygwin git is already installed). Note: IMO Cygwin in itself is a big plus as...
When I execute a .bat script from bash in Cygwin, by what mechanism is it running? I understand that if I run a .EXE it will launch, regardless of whether the .EXE is from Cygwin or from a more traditional environment. I understand that when I execute an executable script with #! at the beginning that Cygwin supplies the magic for it t...
I would like to backup a dir in Win XP on a Solaris server via rsync. I installed cygwin but when I type rsync I get 'command not found'. How can I install rsync? And how can I install ssh. I have installed Poderosa as ssh client (a sort of putty). ...
