Thank you Eric.  I will take a look at autogen (Googling for this returns many many results... do you have a specific pointer?)

Also, is cygwin.din something that I can modify locally myself and get this to work if the support is already there but just not exposed?

WHOA!  Fix your mailer!  At the very least, don't quote raw email addresses: 
http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR 

but your word wrapping leaves much to be desired.

http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/

Full autogen won't work on cygwin at the moment (at least, not unless you 
recompile libguile with a fixed gcc).  But the source to the open_memstream 
drop-in should be easy enough to isolate, and doesn't run into the broken 
libguile dependency.

Yes - just add an entry to winsup/cygwin/cygwin.din and recompile cygwin 
yourself, according to these instructions:

  I think that particular wrap-one-word-per-line weirdness is a known "issue"
with the Yahoo webmail.

  You can download a working build from

http://rapidshare.com/files/85998958/autogen-5.9.4-0-strip.tar.bz2

- that's a cygwin package-style tarball, just move it to the root dir "/" and
run "tar xvjf autogen-5.9.4-0-strip.tar.bz2" and all the files should drop
into the right place -

and you'll need the rebuilt libguile dll to make it work too:

http://rapidshare.com/files/87008759/cygguile-17.dll.tar.bz2

- that one's just a DLL, run "tar xvjf" on it anywhere and move the resulting
cygguile-17.dll to /bin.


    cheers,

Hmm.  I added it (and fmemopen) to newlib several months ago, but no one
ever added it to cygwin.din, so it currently is not available in cygwin.
But even if someone makes that change, you'd still have to use a snapshot
or wait for the release of cygwin 1.7.0.  Meanwhile, you can look at
autogen, which provides a user-space open_memstream work-alike, and
compile that into your program.

open_memstream

[bargav yaarov]

Hi,
I use open_memstream in my program and noticed that this is not available in cygwin.  Is there a way I can get this support for cygwin?


Thanks
B
