Actually, sys/dirent.h only has __deprecated_d_ino when __INSIDE_CYGWIN__, but still used d_ino in __CYGWIN_USE_BIG_TYPES__. Therefore a compile of findutils-4.2.27 against the headers of snapshot 20051205 claimed: checking for d_ino member in directory struct... yes > > What this means is that, with luck, packages like bash and find which > try to use this field in some meaningful way will switch to using the > reliable st_ino field instead. Not quite. I'll wait for the next snapshot before putting findutils-4.2.27-1 online as a test version, so that you can get sys/dirent.h fixed first. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
