Hello Cygwin community.
I've recently started using a new Windows 10 workstation, on which I've
installed 64-bit Cygwin, including tar v1.29.
Windows 10 has its own tar.exe, but I need the Cygwin tar to be found
regardless of whether I'm using a Cygwin command window or a DOS command
window. Since from a DOS window I want Windows .exe files to be found
for all situations except tar, I've copied the Cygwin tar.exe to a
folder of its own and placed that folder in the PATH at the beginning to
make sure Cygwin's tar.exe is found before the Windows tar.exe.
If I use tar from a Cygwin window, it works. The tar.exe is found in
Cygwin's own /usr/bin directory.
But if I use tar from a DOS window, I get a pop-up window that says the
program can't start because cyggcc_s-1.dll can't be found. This DLL is
not present in the Cygwin hierarchy. What's strange is if I run
"cygcheck tar" from a Cygwin window, that DLL is not listed as a dependency.
This configuration worked successfully on my previous Windows 10
workstation, where I had 32-bit Cygwin installed, including tar v1.27.
Any thoughts? I'm wondering if I need to downgrade to tar v1.27 on my
new workstation.
Regards,
Douglas Coup
