This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: - run IDE with a fresh userdir - create Welcome sample - run the project Result: Output window (Internal terminal) shows: Unable to start pty process: RUN FAILED (exit value -1, total time: 365890h 2m 11s) In fact if I try to run 'pty' from cygwin it hangs. 'pty' from 7.0.1 patch 2 runs successfully.
Looks like the problem is that sources were re-compiled with a newer version of cygwin, which produced incompatible with older versions code...
The root cause is the same as discussed here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/125577 So, recompiled on 1.7.7... [changed pty.c to make it possible to compile without c99 flag - as in this case some warnings are issued... ] changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/cnd-main/rev/061001a6fffe
Integrated into 'main-golden' Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/061001a6fffe User: Andrew Krasny <akrasny@netbeans.org> Log: Bug #202769 - Can not run or debug on some Windows 7 machines
