Mediatomb 0.12 (do not know where I got it :-)) can be compiled with a small change to the source code (there is a line in tools.cc which tells that it is not meant to be compiled with cygwin). Comment out this line and start compiling. Afterwards run install mediatomb within cygwin to get all necessary files in place. Then run: ./mediatomb.exe -m /your/home/dir and finished. If there is an error -203 could not bind to socket. Check the program listening to port 1900 (in my case I had to kill an svchost.exe, don't know what was behind ;-)) Hope that helped!

Hope that helped!

Btw, another workaround: you could manually create a config.xml and start MediaTomb with the -c option. Why didn’t you file a bugreport for it? :)

Mine was /gp and it hit this. There is a code bug in MT that will fail if your home folder is exactly 2 chars.
