Pretty new to cygwin, so I'm not 100% sure how these symlinks work. View the symlink under cygwin-bash, things look right, but when I look at the files under Windows Explorer, they are just .lnk file.
My question is, do cygwin binaries understand and respect these .lnk files? I don't think they do. I'm trying to run a binary that requires libqt-mt.dll, here is what bash shows me (formated to fix): $ ls -l libqt-mt* lrwxrwxrwx 116 Nov 26 13:18 libqt-mt.dll ->libqt-mt.dll.3.1.0* lrwxrwxrwx 116 Nov 26 13:18 libqt-mt.dll.3 -> libqt-mt.dll.3.1.0* lrwxrwxrwx 116 Nov 26 13:18 libqt-mt.dll.3.1 -> libqt-mt.dll.3.1.0* -rwxr-xr-x 7786145 Nov 26 13:18 libqt-mt.dll.3.1.0* You can see libqt-mt.dll is a symlink to libqt-mt.dll.3.1 and libqt-mt.dll.3.1 is in my path. $ which libqt-mt.dll /cygdrive/r/BUILD/qt-x11-free-3.1.0/lib/libqt-mt.dll Running an application gives me 'The dynamic link library libqt-mt.dll could not be found in the specified path <list of directories>'. If I rm libqt-mt.dll, and cp libqt-mt.dll.3.1.o to libqt-mt.dll things work. I guess I'm looking for conformation that cygwin binaries do not honor the symlinks.
