Re: zsh on Vista

I've had some success using a different version of zsh on vista.


In the UnxUtils package, there is a version of zsh, named sh.  (Not copied
or linked to zsh, for whatever reason, and, I should say, named sh.exe.)

Two things: 1) that's a win32 native exe, not a cygwin exe. 2) named 'sh' it will run with a 'sh' compatable set of functionality.

I created a shortcut for this executable.  It mostly works.  I'm having some
issues, such as relative paths not working as expected, but that's not
surprising.

Note that running this exe from cygwin bash doesn't work.  As already noted,
running the cygwin version of zsh doesn't work.

I'm currently rebuilding zsh, under cygwin, to see if a version built under
vista behaves any better than the binary distributed with cygwin.

What version? I'm building the latest 4.3.4 for cygwin right now, but there are issues with it, even on Win2k.

Can this be fixed somehow?


One inquiry on each subject is sufficient.  You should also check for
responses before any follow-up inquiry.  In this case, had you done this
you would have seen:

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-04/msg00599.html>

If you don't read the email list (which you should if you post to it),
please let people know that you expect a direct response as well.  I've
included your email address on this response this time.
