How would I do this with setup? Which option is this, and do I have to reinstall everything (i.e. Cygwin, XFree86, individual packages, etc)?you can use setup.exe to change back from textmode to binmode, but the problem is, that most of the programs won't be abled to read the text-files they've writte in textmode.I just installed KDE-cygwin, and I haven't gotten it start properly. Based on the errors I'm getting and the FAQs I've read, the suggestion was to make sure the paths are mounted in binmode, which involves changing a registry key. Since I'd prefer not to do that, will this patch work for me as well?
Christopher Faylor always suggests linking with binmode.o - and i would recomm that too, for the KDE-cygwin project. i don't know, why they don't do it - perhaps because binmode.o is too unknown yet.Once it's been switched back to binmode, would files written after that be in binmode as well? Or would I continue to have a conflict?
but to request, that the user runs cygwin in binmode is not always possible, because migrating back from text- to binmode takes much time (you have to convert every text-file)
