I am having problems with meld 3.18.0-1. On startup I get
"fatal: external diff died, stopping at <filename>", where <filename> is a
file to be inspected. My workaround is to downgrade to 3.16.4-1, which
works.
I am running cygwin on Windows 10. My cygwin installation is recently
updated, except I am using version 3.0.7-1 of the cygwin DLL.
Any ideas welcome,
BR / Rabbe Fogelholm

That's your problem. meld is a python3 script. python3 won't work with
cygwin-3.0.7-1.

I should have said "the current release of python3".

You are right Ken, upgrading to cygwin-3.1 solves the issue. Thanks! Not
only 'meld' but also 'make' appears to be unusable on cygwin-3.0.
I have been using cygwin-3.0 because of another issue; I will describe
it separately.
