In cygwin 1.5, symlink("a",d) correctly failed with EEXIST regardless of whether d was "dir", "dir/", or "dir/.". But in 1.7, it is failing with ENOENT for just "dir/", and failing a gnulib test as a result. STC:
$ mkdir dir $ ln -sT nowhere dir/. ln: creating symbolic link `dir/.': File exists $ ln -sT nowhere dir/ ln: creating symbolic link `dir/': No such file or directory -- Eric Blake -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
