The problem with thd_loaddblk.c has been fixed, I think. (I no longer have a Cygwin system on which to test it, but the patch is simple.) I forgot that there are systems that don't support SysV IPC shared memory.
You can disable hints from popping up by at least 3 methods:
* at compile time, by putting
-DDONT_USE_HINTS in the list of compiler flags
* at run time, before starting AFNI, by setting the environment variable
AFNI_HINTS to
NO or to
KILL; cf. [
afni.nimh.nih.gov] , as usual.
* at run time, while using AFNI, from the
Datamode->Misc menu.
As I mentioned above, I no longer have a Windows machine, so don't have Cygwin, so I don't test AFNI on this platform, or compile it for distribution.
