It'll rename one file at a time, interactively. I want to rename all files in the archive in as they are extracted. For example, replace all occurences of string subdir1 with subdir2. That's one of the things pax does but none of the other archivers can do. I also want compatibility with pax archives coming from a Sun system. What I really want is pax. Someone else (Reini) pointed me to the gnu archives for the paxutils package but I did not have success compiling it for cygwin. I followed all the instructions but did not get a pax.exe executable. The "make" fails to make target "pax" saying it can't resolve a link to some external reference named "errno". $ make pax gcc -g -O2 -o pax pax.o cdf.o copyin.o copyout.o copypass.o defer.o fmtcpio.o fmttar.o format.o getfile.o global.o rename.o util.o rtapelib.o ../lib/libpu.a ../lib/libpu.a(makepath.o)(.text+0xbd): In function `make_path': /usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib/makepath.c:384: undefined reference to `_errno' ../lib/libpu.a(makepath.o)(.text+0xec):/usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib/makepath.c :379: undefined reference to `_errno' ../lib/libpu.a(makepath.o)(.text+0x2db):/usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib/makepath. c:283: undefined reference to `_errno' ../lib/libpu.a(makepath.o)(.text+0x347):/usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib/makepath. c:262: undefined reference to `_errno' ../lib/libpu.a(makepath.o)(.text+0x531):/usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib/makepath. c:347: undefined reference to `_errno' ../lib/libpu.a(makepath.o)(.text+0x5b3):/usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib/makepath. c:332: more undefined references to `_errno' follow collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [pax] Error 1 $ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
