Hi, I am afraid the winsymlinks option is an installation time setting, is it? :
--- sbre...@katz /usr/bin $ set | grep CYGWIN CYGWIN=winsymlinks CYGWIN_PATH='H:\Bazsi\cygwin\' sbre...@katz /usr/bin $ which awk /usr/bin/awk sbre...@katz /usr/bin $ awk /usr/bin/awk: /usr/bin/awk: cannot execute binary file --- Shall I set the environment variable: "CYGWIN=winsymlinks" and install Cygwin from scratch? Would the reexecution of the post-installation scripts be enough?
