I rebooted the computer. I don't remember doing anything unusual before or after the reboot. Yesterday I was doing a bunch of downloading of libraries and other information, mostly from st.com. I did double-click on a *.chm file which tried to do something but didn't succeed. I got a Contents pane, but the content just says "Navigation to the webpage was canceled"
I have 11 copies of cygwin1.dll. http://old.nabble.com/file/p34009171/cygwin1list.txt cygwin1list.txt The D: drive is backup, and you can see there a copy from my c: drive from my previous computer. I would hope that none of the copies on the D: drive would interfere with anything. C:\Downloads\ST\stm32_usb_something_um0424\STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V3.3.0\Utilities\Binary\cygwin1.dll is interesting because I probably downloaded it yesterday. It's possible I ran some program from that download, but I don't remember doing so. In the same directory is a file named arm-elf-objcopy.exe that uses cygwin1.dll, but I have never run it. The other two copies on C: are detritus left over from creating a windows installer that included it, before I figured out how to make an executable that didn't require it. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/-bin-and--lib-mount-points-occasionally-lost-tp34007108p34009171.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
