   </pre></blockquote><pre wrap="">What Linda describes there is all normal behaviour for a 32 bit app on
 
64 bit Windows. Windows is providing a virtual 32 bit environment,
where for the most part the 32 bit app doesn't realise it's running on
64 bit. Unfortunately there are always things that look a bit odd due
to this, but normally I've found that the 32bit code runs fine, it
just looks odd from Explorer or 64 bit apps because of the
folder/registry redirection that happens behind the scenes.   </pre></blockquote><pre wrap="">
Yeah, none of that should have an effect on a tool like "flex", though... </pre></blockquote><br /> I think the actual

IIRC we looked at that before, and that one is also limited to the
version before they started doing fork() (that was the problem with
the newer ones and gnuwin32, iirc) </pre></blockquote><br /> No they have newest flex, but the whole thing is even more
brokenon 64bit then (old) cygwin version - it just exits without doing anything and does not even report any errors.<br
