Subject: Xrdb 1.1.0 = 1 error in preprocessor - cygwin17 directory? Illegal control character
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 16:16:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <01E9402441FFBB4BBEA0A82549A7D94A1F0D0A78@ORD2MBX10A.mex05.mlsrvr.com> (raw)
I updated my Cygwin today (1.7.27-2, 32bit cygwin on Windows 7 64bit).
I run the Cygwin/X Xserver 1.14.5-1
I get errors with xrdb (1.1.0), and when I go back one version of xrdb (1.0.9), it works fine again.
And xrdb seems to think I installed Cygwin in c:\cygwin17, but my Cygwin is installed into c:\cygwin .
when I run xrdb now I get this:
% xrdb.exe -load $HOME/.Xresources
Can't open input file "/cygdrive/C/cygwin17/home/pbecker/.Xresources".
1 error in preprocessor.
% xrdb.exe -load ~/.Xresources
Can't open input file "/cygdrive/C/cygwin17/home/pbecker/.Xresources".
1 error in preprocessor.
% pwd
/home/pbecker
% echo $HOME
/home/pbecker
% echo ~
/home/pbecker
% cygpath -aw .

% xrdb -load ./.Xresources

xrdb 1.1.0
My .Xresources file has not changed in years.
I do have a control-Z on line 140 in .Xresources that has never been a problem before.

xrdb 1.0.9 seems to work fine for me with no output, so I went back to it and all is well.
(and this version of xrdb does not have a -version option)
I hope I am not the only one seeing this.
thank you for your time.
