Re: cygwin 1.3.21 breaks ssh terminal interaction


Sorry Ronald, but this program operated EXACTLY the same (on my machine) regardless of how it is compiled (with -mno-cygwin or not).
From rxvt: Niether open a new console
From cmd: Niether open a new console
From Emacs: Both open a new console

try using an AllocConsole() in your non-Cygwin app and in your Cygwin app, like so:

#include <windows.h>

inline void OpenConsole(void)

#else

}
}


int main(void)
{
	OpenConsole();
	
	printf("Hello, world!\n");
	
	return(0);
}

Compile this with -mno-cygwin and without it, and run it from cmd. The Cygwin app will allocate a new console, the native app won't.

Is that the STC you were looking for (or is it not the right problem)?

After upgrading to the latest cygwin, ssh won't ask me for a password anymore in the terminal window that WinCVS

The same happens when I run WinCVS' cvs.exe in a terminal
window.


WFM with cvs from the Cygwin distro.

I'll speculate that this is the same problem that I've seen using Emacs. If everything is CygWin, then everything works just dandy. But, something happens when a cygwin program runs a non-cygwin program (or vice-versa): The launched app will disregard it's parent's "console" and create it's own.


I've been trying to reproduce it with some relatively simple -mno-cygwin app, but so far, I've been unable to make any progress.
