This didn't cause me any problems.   I have found that some packages won't
configure or build without more complete compilers, such as egcs or gcc-2.8.1.
Rather than learning how to specify search paths as arguments to configure,
I've linked the main /bin directory to /bin, and also made links to cause
everything to show up under /usr as it would in Linux.  Probably not cool, but
it gets me over some path problems.

RE: bash hangs the system

[Robin Crampton]

For the first problem (from the FAQ):

Windows 95 freezing up
======================

   Control-c's in bash under Win 95 can lock up the Win 95 kernel,
freezing your machine.  This problem can be fixed if you are running
the OSR2 version of Win 95 by installing the USB patch available on
OSR2 CDs or on MSDN subscription CDs.  More information about OSR2 and
the USB patch is available from
` http://www.compuclinic.com/osr2faq/index.html '.


>attempting to execute a file that can't be found
I've never had a problem:

$ wibble
BASH.EXE: wibble: command not found
[exited with 127]
$


>cat as used in the configure scripts
I haven't run a configure script yet...


Hope this helps (well, the FAQ extract anyway :-))

bash hangs the system

[Lance Heller]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


	This is my first experience with cygwin32 and I find that 
bash frequently hangs the machine, I'm running the b19.1 release on a 
W95 box.  There appears to be a number of scenarios that will produce
a hang, using ctrl-C, attempting to execute a file that can't be found,
and cat as used in the configure scripts.  For example, I'm unable to 
get through a configure ofthe shar-utils without hanging the machine.
I've been a loyal bash on unix user for years, what am I missing 
here?!?

Any pointers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

Lance
