Cygwin conflicts on Windows


Arduino IDE conflicts with Cygwin. If you already have cygwin installed on your machine, you might get an error like this when you try to compile a sketch in Arduino:

This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the Cygwin dynamic link library file.

Search for the cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version should reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where x is the drive on which you have installed the Cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another Cygwin DLL.

If so, first make sure that you don't have Cygwin running when you use Arduino. If that doesn't help, you can try deleting cygwin1.dll from the Arduino directory and replacing it with...
