Basic rules appliy: - separate PATH between the diffent installations. defining CYGWIN_NOWINPATH help on it - don't mix services as they will be called all in the same way by the different installation. > If you indeed need test installations, a virtual machine is the better route, > IMO. Usually if Virtual Machines are possible there are less motives to use cygwin; people developing for cygwin are of course the exception. > With best regards, > Andrey Repin Regards Marco -- 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
