On my 266 MHz Win98 machine (yes, I know it is old, but it makes a great regression tester): $ mount -m mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" mount -f -s -b -X "d:/cygwin/bin" "/bin" mount -f -s -b -X "d:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin" mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib" mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin" "/" mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive" $ uname -a CYGWIN_98-4.10 bedroom 1.5.17s(0.128/4/2) 20050513 17:27:58 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $ cygcheck -c cygwin $ echo $? 0 $ strace cygcheck -c cygwin Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status cygwin 1.5.16-1 OK $ strace --help $ strace strace --help | head -n 1 Usage: strace [OPTIONS] <command-line> $ echo $TERM cygwin $ time cygcheck -c real 3m9.083s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s It seems like the output of cygcheck and strace are being suppressed until they are invoked through a second layer. But they are obviously doing something, even when the output disappears. -- Eric Blake -- 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/
