I have a last question that might reminds you something (at least I hope so) and unfortunately that is beyond this mailing list but I chance it I am working on a msys/mingw installer(EasyMingw) where instead of the default crappy toolchain(very personal opinion I encourage you to make yours) I am integrating mingw-w64 toolchain(32 and 64 bit). I have one issue about mount point and since msys and cygwin have the same ancestor maybe you know what is wrong. So I have adopted the following tree hierarchy :
./bin ./etc ./home ./include ./lib ./mingw{32,64} ./postinstall ./sbin ./share /mingw{32,64} holds all the "mingw" packages since it's better(not mandatory) to separate msys from mingw and I have declared mount points like this : C:/Developer/EasyMingw/etc /mingw32/etc C:/Developer/EasyMingw/mingw32/bin /mingw32/usr/bin C:/Developer/EasyMingw/mingw32/lib /mingw32/usr/lib So following cygwin logic I made my package inside usr folder, however I have one issue with gcc because I get $ gcc test.c gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory If instead of putting gcc files inside a usr folder I put it directly the archive root it works fine. If you remember that kind of issue, please let me know. -- 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
