Fork Errors

Sometimes when using cygwin on Windows 7, one or more programs could fail with errors about resource forks and addresses. To fix, do this:

  • close all cygwin terminals/programs
  • open a WINDOWS command prompt (start, run, cmd.exe)
  • cd to c:\cygwin\bin, then run ash
  • type /bin/rebaseall
  • start your cygwin terminal and try the faulting program again
