Hello, If I create a file somefile.exe "outside cygwin" then cygwin reports that it is executable. But if the file is created by cygwin then it does not become executable unless explicitly set.
One implication of this is that when I extract a .zip using cygwin unzip then the .exe, .dll, .bat etc do not get the executable permission. Is there a way to tell cygwin to assign u+x for the files created from cygwin for which it would have otherwise assumed this permission? Thanks. - hemal [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/ll Fri Jul 21 11:47:43 2006 $ cmd /c "dir > in_windows.exe" [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/ll Fri Jul 21 11:47:50 2006 $ ls > in_cygwin.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/ll Fri Jul 21 11:47:58 2006 $ ls -l total 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 hpandya &-Users 29 Jul 21 11:47 in_cygwin.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 hpandya &-Users 345 Jul 21 11:47 in_windows.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/ll Fri Jul 21 11:48:02 2006 -- 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/
