RE: HLDS and Cygwin

[Vince Hoffman <Vince dot Hoffman at uk dot circle dot com>]

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do here. have you got a version of
the Half Life dedicated server compiled for cygwin ? (didnt know the source
was available so a link would be interesting since it doesnt seem to be
available from valve.) Otherwise your problem is with a windows executable
and not cygwin related.

admittedly this confuses me

as it seemingly contradicts itself. 
but in essence, you can run one fine or the other fine but not both ? 
check they are configured to run on different ports, and if it is a cygwin
port then a) post the url ;) and b) remove cygwin1.dll from their respective
directorys and add the results output of "cygpath -w /bin" at a cygwin
prompt to your windows path so they arent trying to use 2 instances of the
cygwin dll.
