Unfortunately, that is causing my compiler to compain when I try to assign an off_t value to the l_start or l_len fields of struct flock. It appears this is because l_start and l_len are hard coded as 32-bit longs, while off_t can be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on whether __CYGWIN_USE_BIG_TYPES__ is defined. I assume I can't simple redefine struct flock without having to rebuild cygwin.dll. What is the best solution to this problem? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
