I tried the suggested command from the Cygwin bash command line and the
SHM extension still fails:
I tried to find documentation on cygserver, but all there is dead links
in the
cygwin users guide. I assume the CYGWIN environment variable is being
set by
suggested command. There is no info for this option in the users guide
for the CYGWIN
environment variable... Since it had no effect is the environment
variable setting incorrect?
You have to launch cygserver just like you launch ipc-daemon2, except
cygserver is in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin so you have to explicitly
reference it unless /usr/sbin has been manually added to your path:
/usr/sbin/cygserver
Then launch "CYGWIN=server XWin".
