forking vim gui

forking vim gui

[Colman Curtin]

folks
Having successfully compiled my fav editor vim a while back.
How come when I launch it as 'gvim' or 'vim -g' which causes vim to fork the
gui version I get an exception.
However if I launch it as 'vim -g -f' which launches the gui but doesn't
return to the shell it work fine.
But if I launch it as above but use bash to background it 'vim -g -f &' it all
works fine and I get bash back?

vim5.0m, Sergey's latest dll and bash, win95 16MB

any ideas?

Colman.

Under Win95, a program can't fork() or vfork() into the background,
without raising an exception.  NT will allow this as long as the shell
remains open (I think).  Using an '&' will not cause the launching program
to fork, thus allowing it to work.

Try NT Emacs. If you are familiar with it from Unix, you will find it works
quite well on NT or W95.

Do a web search for Bluegnu, it is an IDE for win32 and if you have a
working version, then you need the bluegnu.exe and the bggaddon.exe
(something like that). The web page should direct you. If you have
trouble finding it via web search, let me know and I'll hunt down the
URL for you.
You will want to save your cygwin.dll before installing, or it will
get whacked (windows/system). Then you just need to go into the options
and point to your executables and the paths for c and c++ includes and
then you're set. The resources compiler will cause you problems but what
I just did was use cvtres from msvc++. You can get a replacement from
lcc courtesy Jacob Navia (he frequents this list btw.. ;)

Any body with better ideas, let me know....

If you have used Emacs or Xemacs it has support for debugging,

search engine is bound to turn it up.

It's a bug of cygwin - .bss/.data sections of dll's are not copied to a 
child on fork(). Someone in this list wrote about related fixes he made, 
but I never saw the fixes itself :-(
