What feature? Cygwin was designed with POSIX pathnames in mind. If DOS pathnames work, it is a fortunate side-effect, but not the primary design goal, and not subject to stay the same in future releases. The only way to guarantee sane behavior from cygwin is to always use POSIX pathnames. > > C:\sw\bin>sh twg.sh > ok POSIX path. > > C:\sw\bin>sh ./twg.sh > ok POSIX path. > > C:\sw\bin>sh .\twg.sh > .\twg.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `$'in\r'' > '\twg.sh: line 2: ` case "$funk" in DOS path - don't do that if you don't want surprises. And if you want bash to ignore \r, then reread the bash release announcements for several ideas for doing this (including 'set -o igncr' or setting the SHELLOPTS environment variable before bash is started). http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2011-02/msg00027.html > > C:\sw\bin>sh c:\sw\bin\twg.sh > c:\sw\bin\twg.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `$'in\r'' > ':\sw\bin\twg.sh: line 2: ` case "$funk" in DOS path - don't do that if you don't want surprises. > In the past I didn't have to pay attention to line endings.

If you are writing files for cygwin, then it is much preferred that you omit CR, since cygwin emulates Linux which omits CR. But if you must interact with text mode files, then use a text mode mount or tell bash that you plan on working with text mode and that bash should ignore CR. > So is there a chance to get back the global setting of textmode, or is there a > way to get textmode without changing all the scripts? /etc/fstab and set textmode mount points on the directories where you want it. But you _don't_ want it globally - for example it's great for data files elsewhere in windows, but a bad idea for cygwin's /bin. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
