Re: B20 Problems...

[Corinna Vinschen <corinna dot vinschen at cityweb dot de>]

Hello Raj,

I have figured out, that the libc function `dup()'
not in any case does what expected. Until I have found
the correct solution for this problem, I have a
patch, that solves nearly all problems by patching
tcsh for a while. Unfortunately, here scripts still doesn't
work, if tcsh is a subshell. But it's better than nothing.

Your make problem is less significant if CYGWIN=...notty...,
I have found, that configure scripts run completely in
notty mode, but hang very often in tty mode. I'm using
tty mode only with care.

Regards,
Corinna
