Hello All:
I'm trying to run Cygwin on WXP (I know, but my main OS is OS/2 / eCS 2.2B2,
and I don't need a Windows OS, except to help port some stuff to eCS).
Cygwin 1.7.32-1 apparently installs O.K. on WXP without any complaint from
the installer. But when I try to run it, it stops immediately, complaining
that it can't find a file utmp . I can't find it in the Cygwin
distribution, and google-type searches turn up nothing. From the sketchy
references that I have been able to find, it could be from Linux or UNIX,
but what is this file ? Where can I get a copy ? Is there a bypass to this
error condition ?
TIA for any information or help.
John H. Lindsay.
