rm was temporarily changed in coreutils-5.3.0-4 to automatically append .exe, but that attempt caused regressions in libtool and was quickly reverted. I am still toying with the idea of adding a command line option (that you could make default using an alias or function in interactive shells, but which would not change behavior for scripts), but it will not be in the soon-to-be-released coreutils-5.3.0-7. > > This behaviour results in difficulty in building GNU arch. Then it is an upstream bug in arch. Packages using autoconf already have $(EXEEXT) available for use in makefiles, and should religiously append it to all non-script executables they mention. Automake takes care of a lot of this for you, too. > Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics > Current System Time: Sun Jul 03 12:42:37 2005 The directions state to ATTACH the cygcheck output so as to avoid false hits in archive searches. -- 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/
