Re: Cannot compile Fox toolkit on cygwin

In principle, it’s possible to install both Fox and FXRuby in Cygwin
(I have done that with different versions of both on an XP machine.)
Error 8 seems to be the fubar message of Windows 98 and it seems
to be that a particular address 0x10000(4128768) is already taken,
so it’s a Windows/Cygwin memory allocation thing rather than
anything with FXRuby or Fox.
Recently, I had a problem which may be similar, though I don’t
know exactly, but a rebaseall command somehow allocating
all dll addresses in an orderly way solved the problem:

See Ara Howard’s tips here:

Hope that helps,

Yes, it helps. After run:
sh
rebaseall

Everything goes smoothly.Now I can use fxruby on cygwin.

Very thanks.
