I do am using Win98, so no service for me. I have read the Readme that you
have statet, and have started ipc-deamon2.exe in the cygwin bash without
parameters. No error warnings, but still the same error from gmplayer. I
will try to set
CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty server
in my .bashrc then.
NTsec = winNT/2k/XP? Then i will need something else. Where to find info
about this cygwin environment variable?
