Cygwin and SAP

[Former Member]

Hello!

I have problems using Cygwin when for the SAP tools sapinst, SAPup, and so on....

The applications launches ok, and the text boxes and buttons seems ok. The problem is when

typing in a text box, the graphics does not update!

(not until I minimize and then again maximize the window on my PC, I can see the text previously typed)

I havn't get in to the details of cygwin, but assume there might be som options to tune here?

Not familiar with this software.... but if you're calling sapinst you need the right version of java... I have also seen problems with refreshing with working in a terminal to a remote box... usually minimize and maximize the screen help...

Anyhow i presume the best is to as Cygwin.

Hello Juan,

Cygwin is (among other things) a X windows emulator, that emulates unix programs on a windows pc.

Because of this, the java JRE version on my PC does not matter, since it is not used in this case.

Hi,

Why dont you try to use another X windows emulator.

I use Xstart and I find it pretty good. It is available free on the net. Atleast you will find on sites like download.com

I'm not talking about your PC JRE, I'm talking about the JDK installed on the server you're trying to run sapinst.
