Have you got the cygwin1.dll snapshot dated Jan 15 1999? This fixes a bug in fork() on Cygwin B20.1 and I have always used it - you can find the link on the sourceware.cygnus.com page. I also heard it is better to copy bash.exe over sh.exe because sh.exe is a bit flakey... P.S. I'm assuming that you are using Cygwin B20.1...I have built other snapshots of Insight with no problems at all under Windows... > -----Original Message----- > From: Gus Paolone > Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2000 3:46 PM > To: Insight > Subject: Configure problems with sh on Win98 > > > Hi; > > I've been trying to configure insight 20000204 but its failing with an > application error when it tries to create config.h . > > I've found a bug reported on this, here is the description: > > "using SH/BASH to run the configure script in Windows98 causes a page > fault -- SH.EXE is causing the fault." > > Has anybody dealt with this, and is there a way to work around it?
