DuplicateHandle error

DuplicateHandle error

[Lange, Jan-Erik]

Hello,

I have trouble with my cygwin installation. I use the program gforth. Starting the tool there comes the following error:

3 [main] gforth 4824 dtable::stdio_init: couldn't make stderr distinct from stdout

Because of this error I cannot see the error messages, which gforth produces.

Corinna gave me already a hint for the reason of this error. But that doesnt help me solving the problem:
"This message occurs if the stdout and stderr handle are the
same, and a DuplicateHandle on the stderr handle failed for reason X."

Do you have an idea what I could do?

I installed the latest version of cygwin and I'm using Windows 7.

Regards,
Jan

there is no gforth on cygwin.
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=gforth

Are you building by yourself or what ?

I assume you are using the latest compiler
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.5.3


try using before
$ autoreconf -i --force

$ ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe
checking for suffix of executables... .exe
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o
...

the build looks fine, and I do not see any

3 [main] gforth 4824 dtable::stdio_init: couldn't make stderr distinct 
from stdout
