[Python-Dev] Re: Q: Testing Python 2.1.2 on cygwin

[Anthony Baxter]

Paul Everitt tested on cygwin, and make test got:

> test_fork1
> test test_fork1 crashed -- exceptions.OSError: [Errno 11] Resource temporaril
y unavailable
> test_popen2
> test test_popen2 crashed -- exceptions.OSError: [Errno 11] Resource temporari
ly unavailable

Looks to me like cygwin's fork() support is busted.

In addition, the build of curses failed:
