You're not. You're supposed to *actually* stop *all* running cygwin
processes before replacing the DLL - not just the ones you're "sure" about!
The fact that you get a collision proves that you must have omitted something.
OK, this time I actually removed cygwin17/bin/cygwin1.dll, then rebooted, so no cygwin 1.7 process could be existing. Then I copied the previously compiled cygwin0.dll to cygwin17/bin/cygwin1.dll, and cygwin does *not* start.
This is quite demotivating, honestly. No howto available anywhere?
