Re: [cdt-dev] Starter.exe
|
Hi!
Thanks for the offer, but let me play with it some. I think that a cygwin
starter for cygwin apps is going to be the most expedient thing. At the
moment we also have the NT4 requirement and it's going to be faster to try
the geek solution than go lobby marketing to get rid of NT4.
I've got a cygstarter.exe compiling under cygwin, I just need to change the
GenerateConsoleCtrlEvents over to raise'es and I am betting it will work.
I'll send mail if I've hit the wall and just do not know what to do. Thanks
for the pointer to the CreateJobObject call. I'll look at it if this does
not work right.
Thanks!
-Chris

If you are interested in this issue and are not limited with NT4, I can try
to build for you version without starter.
