Please use the resources available at th= e Windows Development Center and begin testing your applications. For more = information on how to verify the compatibility of your applications on Wind= ows 8 Consumer Preview, please refer to the Windows and Windows Server 8 Co= nsumer Preview Compatibility Cookbook.=20 Our team drives the bug notification activity with our valued Windows partn= ers. This email is to notify you that Cygwin experienced compatibility issu= e during internal Microsoft testing.=20 Please review the details provided below with regard to this issue. Compatibility Issue details:=A0=20 Product name: Cygwin Description of the Problem: Xserver does not load Detailed Steps to Reproduce the Problem:=A0 =A0=20 1. Click on CygwinX 2. Observe that there is no response 3. Click on Cygwin rxvt 4. Observe that an error is generated in the background Expected Result: CygwinX and Cygwin rxvt renders successfully. Actual Result: CygwinX and Cygwin rxvt loads successfully. Tester/Developer Notes:=20 =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Cygwin manually scans ntdll.dll to find the address of t= he global variable used to access the current working directory. It fails t= o do this on Windows 8, hence the error every time the DLL loads. The erro= r of this function is as follows: "find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer".=20 Cygwin is taking a direct dependency on a global variable in ntdll.dll whi= ch will likely break the app every time the DLL revs. You should consider = using other methods to maintain compatibility. If you are not the appropriate contact for this issue, please connect us wi= th that individual as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have any = questions and thank you for your continued engagement with Microsoft.=20 Best regards, Anuja Singh Program Manager Microsoft PC Ecosystem Engineering=20 v-anujsi@microsoft.com REF ID: 386608 This communication is intended to be shared only with the indicated recipie= nt(s).=A0The information contained in this communication and any attachment= s to this are confidential and may be subject to copyright or other intelle= ctual property protection.
