Sorry ... I forgot to attach the informations about my system. I have the problem, that the command "ar" does work on "mounted" partitions. ar cq libdh.a a.o b.o does not work, if the current directory is on a linked filesystem. The error message of "ar" is: ar: libdh.a: rename: Cross-device link make: *** [libdh.a] Error 1
The program works, when using local files, e.g. /usr/src or /cygdrive/c. In the case described above the current directory "." referes to /cygdrive/h which is mounted with the "Services for Unix" tools from Microsoft (Version 3.0). The operating system is Windows XP Professional. I installed cygwin version 1.5.3(0.90/3/2): # uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PCHEMPEL2 1.5.3(0.90/3/2) 2003-09-01 13:15 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin Thanks for your help Daniel (See attached file: cygcheck.out)
