The called Cygwin compiled .exe did run from msys2 but most probably crashed Cygwin causing segmentation fault ever since. Surprisingly the called Cygwin compiled .exe runs successfully but eclipse clp prolog .exe fails. > > Should I remove msys2 ? as I have reinstalled Cygwin multiple times ever since this error occurs. That's the only recent local change, but the Msys2 DLLs are often outdated Cygwin derivatives, and Cygwin programs may try to call functions nonexistent in Msys2 DLLs. The situation can be mitigated by setting the path to run the Cygwin compiled code using the Cygwin DLLs from the Cygwin bin, and changing the path to run the Msys2 tools using the DLLs from the Msys2 bin. -- Take care.
