Hello, I'm running Cygwin 1.7.9-1 on Win7-64, with "GNU bash, version 4.1.10(4)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)".
When executing a script (a gdb build script) with CR/LF line ends, bash reports errors on "unusual" lines of the script, even with igncr set. Here is an example with the script "configure": Manu@Holland /cygdrive/d/Installs/gdb_7_3_1/gdb-7.3.1 $ ./configure ./configure: line 14: $'\r': command not found ./configure: line 29: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' '/configure: line 29: ` ;; ... where all lines end with CR/LF, but line 14 is the first empty line in the script line 29 is the first one ending with ";;CR/LF". This clearly smacks of line-end problems and, indeed, when all CR/LFs are replaced by LFs only, the script runs ok... until it tries to call another script with the same problem. I could manually convert all scripts to LFs only, but I'd really prefer to avoid that (could wreak havoc!), so my question is: isn't setting igncr supposed to make bash ignore the CRs in CR/LFs? If not, is there something else I can do to make it do so? And if so (i.e. this a bug), is there a correction to be had?
