Thanks for the report. This seems to happen only when the drive letter is uppercase. ln -s /cygdrive/c/XOL/ work works. Anyway, I think this is a problem of cygwin1.dll. This work -> /mnt/C/XOL/ should be work -> /cygdrive/C/XOL/ shouldn't it? It guess this is a bug in the code added for WSL compatibility. -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp> -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
