cygwin build on appveyor fails attempting to use linux calls?

[James E. King, III]

While attempting to build Boost.Random on Appveyor using a cygwin job, this happens:

​https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jeking3/random/build/1.0.10-develop/job/h9m6ca7nho5hd7w7

The pull request is: ​https://github.com/jeking3/random/pull/1

The error is:

I can no longer reproduce this as of 1.66.0 so I am resolving it as "worksforme".

It doesn't happen for me locally, but it does when building on Appveyor:

​https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jeking3/random/build/1.0.42-develop/job/wkkuianyjamcwgs4#L780

Reopening.

Do you think your problem related to this: ​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21689124/mkstemp-and-fdopen-in-cygwin-1-7-28 ?

What is the version of cygwin you use locally and on AppVeyor?

Hi,

Would you please try the branch topic/PR-145-cygwin-fixes and tell me if that solves your issues? A quick feedback would be good in order to merge this into the coming release.

Thanks
