Re: [rdiff-backup-users] win32 error 126

[Greg Freemyer]

Dave,

I did a fair bit of experimenting with rdiff-backup, cygwin, and win32
in march of this year.  Since then, cygwin.dll version 1.5.x has been
released, so the 2 GB issue i posted about then should be resolved if
you want to run rdiff-backup with the cygwin.dll.

That only leaves 1 problem that I know of for running with the
cygwin.dll:
  - The ACL mapping is partial, so a true backup with ACLs is not
currently possible.
  
Is that why you are trying to seperate rdiff-backup from cygwin?

Regardless:  
I never did figure out how to do much troubleshooting, but I did get
everything compiled and linked without the cygwin dll(if that
terminology makes sense).

I used the command "python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32".

In the above, python is the Win32 command line python. 

I was executing the above from inside a cygwin bash shell, so it
automatically invoked gcc.  The mingw32 argument said to use a version
of gcc that does not link in the cygwin.dll, but to use standard win32
dlls instead.

HTH
Greg
