Hi,
I just set up Cygwin for x86 on my Windows 8.1 (64-bit) machine, and
have been seeing the following issues:
1. When doing 'git clone', some of the expected messages don't show up. For
example, this is what I see:
datod_000@Q9450 ~/sandbox
$ which git
/usr/bin/git
datod_000@Q9450 ~/sandbox
$ git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libplist.git
Cloning into 'libplist'...
datod_000@Q9450 ~/sandbox
$
As you can see, the 'git clone' command doesn't display the stats such as
objects received, deltas resolved, etc.
2. When invoking python, I don't get the python's prompt back:
datod_000@Q9450 ~/sandbox
$ which python
/usr/bin/python
datod_000@Q9450 ~/sandbox
$ python
It basically just hangs there. I have to ^C to get the shell prompt back.
3. I have a shell script that runs just fine on an older Cygwin installation
on a Vista machine. But on this newer Cygwin installation, I get the
following error message:
datod_000@Q9450 ~/sandbox/libplist
$ ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: line 16: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Any idea on what may be causing these issues and suggestion on how to fix
them will be deeply appreciated. Thanks.
