[Tinyos-help] Cygwin fork copy error

[Faisal Aslam]

Hi,
Are you installing tinyos 2..?
If so then I suggest that you uninstall/delete cygwin and reinstall 
using http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Windows_Installation instructions.
Cygwin installation instruction mentioned at 
http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-2.x/doc/html/install-tinyos.html does not 
work properly.

best regards,
Faisal
