Actually I think that v1.2 of the install does flag if you have "Unix"
style it tells you it won't work.

I have had a very hard time getting Cygwin/X working with Crestron.
On XP, with multiple installs and copying files around, I could get
it going but it is very painful. On Vista, I could not get it
working. At issues seems to be the CRLF DOS/Unix issue. Cygwin/X
does not like the DOS style. I even tried mounting different mount
points with different flags to see if I could get it to work.
Finally, I found installing Cygwin with DOS CRLF and Crestron works.
TB does document how to do this. This does not give me the X-server.
For that, I took the suggestion for XMing.

cygwin has to be installed with DOS-style CRLF line endings. You can
either install Cygwin in the Coldfire directory or Coldfire in the
Cygwin directory, but they'll be sharing a directory. If you change
your cygwin path, you may wind up with registry entries pointing to
the old one -- do a find in regedit to find them and change them to
the correct path.

I'm toying with installing/using cygwin/x on my windows box so I
can run the
X-windows server on windows; this will allow me to access my
linux-based
server apps, such as email, from windows.
I cranked up the cygwin/x install and it wants to stuff
everything in the
\Crestron\ColdFire directory.
not wanting to mess up my SIMPL+ install, I canceled the install.
Does
anyone know if I should:
1) go ahead and install cygwin/x in the same directory that
SIMPL+ uses...and
everything will be fine
2) install cygwin/x somewhere else
3) find something else to use
4) buy a Mac :)
thanks
