Greetings - When I build the latest zsh sources on Cygwin 1.7 using ncurses8-5.5.3, I get a working zsh. When I build the same zsh sources against ncurses9-5.7-13, although the build completes successfully, the executable will not run: $ /usr/local/zsh-2009-03-11/bin/zsh -f $ echo $? 127 My guess is that some kind of runtime dependency is missing, but: $ cygcheck /usr/local/zsh-2009-03-11/bin/zsh.exe C:\cygwin\usr\local\zsh-2009-03-11\bin\zsh.exe C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll C:\cygwin\usr\local\zsh-2009-03-11\bin\libzsh-4.3.9-dev-1.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses-9.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll $ cygcheck /usr/local/zsh-2009-03-11/bin/libzsh-4.3.9-dev-1.dll C:\cygwin\usr\local\zsh-2009-03-11\bin\libzsh-4.3.9-dev-1.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses-9.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll so I don't see an obviously missing DLL. By the way, ldd returns a different set of runtime dependencies: $ ldd /usr/local/zsh-2009-03-11/bin/zsh.exe /c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll (0x7c900000) /c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll (0x7c800000) /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000) /c/WINDOWS/system32/ADVAPI32.DLL (0x77dd0000) /c/WINDOWS/system32/RPCRT4.dll (0x77e70000) /c/WINDOWS/system32/Secur32.dll (0x77fe0000) /usr/local/zsh-2009-03-11/bin/libzsh-4.3.9-dev-1.dll (0x6ba00000) /usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll (0x6dd50000) notably missing ncurses. When configuring against ncurses8 and ncurses9, there are no differences between the generated config.h or config.status files. There are only minor and insignificant differences (regarding naming of temporary files like /c/DOCUME~1/s360339.aoa/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc8nrdfh.o) between the config.log files. For reference, I have attached the config.log file. config.status, configure.ac and configure available upon request. The referenced builds used gcc-4, but the same problem occurred using gcc-3. When I attempted to debug the failing executable using gdb, here's what happened: $ gdb /usr/local/zsh-2009-03-11/bin/zsh.exe GNU gdb 6.8.0.20080328-cvs (cygwin-special) Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

You can't do that without a process to debug. (gdb) This lends further credence to my hypothesis that some runtime dependency is missing. Googling that exit code seems to indicate that this error code corresponds to: 0xc0000139 Entry Point Not Found Thoughts? Please let me know what additional info I can provide. Regards, Vin
