I’ve been fighting with my .screenrc file in Cygwin for quite some time… I’d configure settings and either they wouldn’t take (such as turning off startup_message) or I’d get strange errors like Unrecognized command ”.
It turns out that my .screenrc file had dos line endings. running dos2unix fixed it!
$ dos2unix .screenrc
I post this hoping that somebody else will stumble across this when they’re struggling with similar problems. 🙂
what is cygwin?
Cygwin is a set of libraries and applications that provide a Unix like environment in Windows, including a bash shell and X server.
is it like lampp for ubuntu? and xampp for windows? like an emulator?
Not really an emulator, a compatibility layer.
There is apache, PHP, etc, for cygwin, but I wouldn’t say that it “is like” LAMPP/XAMPP.
