Dear Sirs
I am Raffaele Nutricato,I would report the following problem with cygwin:
I have a makefile where there are defined the following executables:
EXECUTABLES = getorb lodr mdate convdate
as you can see this executables have names without the exestension .exe.
When I compile my source code with the gcc 2.95.3-5 the executables generated have the following
names
getorb.exe lodr.exe mdate.exe convdate.exe
The gcc automatically add the ".exe" extension.
This causes an error when I try to install these executables by
using the line:
mv $(EXECUTABLES) $(BIN_DIR)
because mv expects the name of the executables as:
getorb lodr mdate convdate
and not with the extension ".exe"
If I change the line with the following:
cp $(EXECUTABLES) $(BIN_DIR)
the error doesn't occur.
It seems that cp is capable to "understand" that .exe is omitted.
Best regards
Raffaele Nutricato
