that depends on what DLL you're talking about....?
I think it was called
cygwin1.dll
or something like that, and needed to be on your path for any Cygwin stuff to run. Also it changed in incompatible ways from one version to the next, which meant if you needed to have two different versions of Cygwin installed at the same time, life became inordinately complex. As I said, this was about ten years ago, then I found out about MinGW and never bothered to check back...
-
ooooh. that's out of beta. i'll have to look into that.
i wonder if it supports proper ssh key authentication or not?
and if so is it going to be awesome (also slightly less secure, but i'm willing to take that risk) and sync my key across all my chrome instances.....
-
Right; I've already done that. As you'd know, having read the entire conversation.
Look: is it my fault this Git server is broken? No. Why are you people yelling at me instead of the network administrator who has a broken server? Why are you people expecting me to completely change my workflow to accommodate some temporary breakage of a server?
I'm not the one with the problem here.
Correction: you are the one yelling at us because you have a sysadmin with a broken server (which I suspect they are working hard to fix). Yell at them instead, we can't because we do not have a sysadmin with a broken server.
You may not be the problem owner, but right now, you are the only one here affected by the problem. Grow up and deal with it.
-
I think so, but I don't actually develop code under it. I just use it for the utilities, like other people (Blakey excluded) might use cmd, but I don't have to remember two different sets of utilities for Win/*nix.
Me too! I just use MSYS instead. The net result is the same, I expect. (e.g. I dont need to remember what
dir
is the equivalent of...)

There are two known ways to deal with @blakeyrat - ignore him, or agree with him.
Except even agreeing with him doesn't always work.[1] Let's see if we can clear that up:

Yes, I think it's still needed.
I found out about MinGW
Cygwin now (optionally) includes MinGW stuff in the distribution. If you expand the "Devel" section in the installer, you can scroll down and see a bunch of mingw things you can install.

you are the one yelling at us
When did that happen?

I am dealing with it. sunglasses.gif
Dealing with it is not mutually-exclusively with posting here about it.

When did that happen?
You seem to have a very unique and decidedly asymmetric definition of the verb "yell".

What's his TDWTF handle? We'll get right on that!

It does support SSH key-based authentication (caveat: the key must be password protected), but it doesn't upload the keys anywhere.
-
hmm.... well that's good on the requiring passphrase, but somewhat annoying that it's not shared among all my computers.
i mean i get why they wouldn't sync between computers, but it's still annoying.

Which doesn't sound like very long, but is enough time for a (very fast) man to run a quarter of a mile¹.
Or for a very fast European man to run 400 meters.
1: but he will probably be too out of breath to do much more than make cursory scan of the build logs - running quarters during builds is not a recommended practice for effective software development.
-
It's exactly long enough that I get bored of watching the progress bar, so switch over to this forum or another time-wasting webpage, and then when it finally builds and pops open a new tab, it interrupts me.

Lucky. I'm taking 8 minutes to log in to our test environment. I'm not even kidding with the likes title right now.

Until they provide me a more powerful laptop, I use my personal laptop at work which breaks a whole pile of corporate policy but means I can build stuff in seconds rather than minutes, Funnily, no one complains.

Building isn't slow*. It's logging in to the environment which goes on the fritz every few days.
* Dev build. Production takes forever.

Logging in with my corporate laptop takes 10ish minutes from pressing the power button to being able to use it too.
Everything is slow.

Status: RDP-ing into a Windows machine so I can use TortoiseSVN to view the log for a file in the repository, because apparently it's too much to ask for an SVN log viewer on Linux that actually works!!!
I managed to install the 32-bit version in wine. I seem to recall I had to install some vcredist as well, but after that it worked in butt-ugly XP mode.Of course, the GUI intergration is missing so a terminal interface is far from stellar.
I'm happy to use it's remote browser though, I always tend to get branch copying wrong when using the command line.
I use this to launch it, when installing you need to pass a similar set of parameters:
#!/bin/zsh local COMMAND=log if [[ -n $1 ]]; then COMMAND=$1 fi if [[ -n $2 ]]; then local WPATH=`WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winepath --windows $2` else local WPATH=`WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winepath --windows .` fi local LOGFILE="/tmp/tsvn-$$.log" echo Logging to ${LOGFILE} LANG=en WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine "C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoiseProc.exe" "/command:${COMMAND}" "/path:${WPATH}" > ${LOGFILE} 2>&1 &

I'm not sure how much more flirty you can get; you've already threatened to propose to me!<I'm leaving the door wide open, and I know it…
