(Some apps will only launch if they aren't compiled with __CYGWIN__) However, any app that launches into the background crashes..... I happen to remember when I was programming in Visual C++, and made an a console app that would drop the DOS window (I.E. freeconsole() or something). Could something similiar be applied here? SJ P.S. I wanted to note that many apps call a header with the name or something. It only contains the following definition: /* * Definitions for UNIX IPC domain. */ struct sockaddr_un { short sun_family; /* AF_UNIX */ char sun_path[108]; /* path name (gag) */ }; I had to make up one until I found that... so, I implore you, include a sys/un.h with that in b19. Okay? ;) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
