Hej,


From my experience cygwin has some advantages over native Windows,
like scripts, Perl, POSIX path names, long path names, xemacs..

Are there any chances to give us an overview, which problems, troubles, .. ?

That could ease the motivation for a decision, whichever that would be.

Hm .... here's a proposal:

As supporting the Cygnus/Windows target architecture causes never-ending
trouble and uses significantly more than average resources, I would propose
attempting to drop cygwin support from EPICS Base.

We have well-working support for Linux and native Windows, and IMHO cygwin was
after all a bridge solution until virtualization arrived on the Windows
platform. It seems not just being a moving target, but the wrong target in the
end.

Should we send out a message on tech-talk, asking if there are actually any
EPICS on Cygwin users left?

Cheers,
