The version of Cygwin used is probably quite old and needs updating to work with modern versions of Windows. See: https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-find_fast_cwd-warnings I'm afraid that we can't support that here. You need to contact the supplier of the Hexiom solver and ask them to rebuild using a newer version of Cygwin. Failing that, you could compile your own version using the instructions at the top of this file: https://www.benzedrine.ch/hexiom/hexiom.c Dave. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
