Anyone managed to share command line history between running zsh's in
latest cygwin's?
In old times I have done it, unfortunetaly bad tracking when I lost
it. (Cywgin & zsh 4.2) (think it works with Linux-compiled zsh,
doublechecking)
Mainly my sharing is decided by:
# History
###################################
# IncAppendHistory for sharing between shells.. NOW..
setopt HISTIGNOREDUPS HISTIGNORESPACE EXTENDED_HISTORY
setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY SHARE_HISTORY
HISTSIZE=300
SAVEHIST=300
HISTFILE=~/.history
The last line, HISTFILE, freezes the cygwin-distributed zsh
(4.2.0) just after reading the config-files. Removing just that line
creates a bunch of .history-XXX files.
On cygwin I configured (by setting "named FIFOs to work" to false) and
compiled zsh 4.2.3, but it doesn't seem to share the history.
Anyone who have been messing with the history as I do?

A quick note, it works in zsh 4.2.3 compiled on linux. No changes.

Works for me on Cygwin and Linux (Slackware).

Hm... I get only a single ~/.history file.

4.2.3s' configure is broken (on Cygwin) right now, so unless you know
what you're doing, I'd wait on it.

This works for me without any problems, using 4.2.0 in Cygwin. I've
opened three shells and can see/use the commands entered from any of the
three shells by any of the three shells. I suspect it's something
environmental. More detail about your system is in order. The output
from 'cygcheck -s' might be enlightening.
BTW, I just pushed 4.2.1-1 out. You can give it a try, but I kinda doubt
that'll solve your problems. On the other hand, it does have the new
/etc/zprofile in it.
BTW, it appears cygwin-announce isn't working...at least I haven't seen
any "[ANNOUNCE]" notices lately.
I'll be pushing out 4.2.3 once I get patches for configure worked out.
Still, I think your problem is something else. Please submit 'cygcheck -s'
output.

I don't use SHARE_HISTORY (just inc_append_history,
hist_ignore_all_dups, hist_no_store and my history sizes are 100
times larger than yours), but...

...after some cygwin update (a few months ago) my zshs also started
freezing during startup. I tracked the problem down to HISTFILE
being assigned a file that resides on a network drive (a Linux
samba share in this case, I didn't try anything else). If I
changed my history file to reside on a local hard drive, zsh no
longer froze. Is your home directory on a local drive?
