fork() may translate a wrong encoded path name to CreateProcessW in somecase. My cygwin version: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 bambo-notebook 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin This happens in windows XP with multi-byte characters support, for example, I use a system with GBK as default. If the path to the executable contains multi-byte characters, CreateProcessW will fail and report file(executable) not found in somecase. The follow shows how this happen. [Bambo@bambo-notebook 正虹]$ pwd /cygdrive/d/正虹 ^^^^^^ Here's some multi-byte characters to the executable. [Bambo@bambo-notebook 正虹]$ cat test.c #include <unistd.h> int main() { fork(); } [Bambo@bambo-notebook 正虹]$ make test cc test.c -o test [Bambo@bambo-notebook 正虹]$ export LANG=en_US.GBK [Bambo@bambo-notebook 正虹]$ ./test.exe [Bambo@bambo-notebook 正虹]$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [Bambo@bambo-notebook 正虹]$ ./test.exe 3 [main] test 5836 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessW failed, errno 2 cygcheck.out is attached.
