Cygwin Built bootloader?

[3togo]

I tried to build bootloader under cygwin for py-installer git version by issuing the command

>python waf configure build install 

Compiling and Build went well and I got run.exe, run_d.exe
But when I run it,
$ build/debug/run_d.exe
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any pointer on how to debug it?

Any reason why you are rebuilding the loader?

Building the loader in Cygwin is not supported by us. Sorry, no idea how to debug this except of setting debug=True in the EXE(..) of the spec-file.

Please use the current development branch when trying new stuff.

You should be able to compile bootloader with mingw. However, mingw based bootloader is not well tested.

fixed....

It is triggerd by strlen.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x61127913 in strlen () from /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll
(gdb)

below is the diff

3togo@3togo-PC /src/pyinstaller/source/linux
$ diff utils.c utils.c.old
43c43
<     if (strncasecmp(&programname[strlen(thisfile)-4], ".exe", 4)) {

>     if (strncasecmp(&programname[strlen(argv[0])-4], ".exe", 4)) {
