Don't mount to /cygdrive/c/DATA/; mount points to a subdirectory of /cygdrive don't really do any good, because the path resolution does not look for mount points residing inside /cygdrive. Instead, mount c:\data\myproject to a POSIX path (ie. something like /myProject).
Thanks, Eric, for pointing this out. - That clarifies all!

Once I > solved the mounting problems, I will do some more tests with "ar". What more needs to be tested? Until cgf releases a new binutils with an update to ar that forces binary mode on all archival actions, the current behavior on textmounts isn't going to change.
Thus I think the error seems to be clear and I need no further testing. (I just wanted to narrow doewn, but you guys are rather familiar with the source code and already know what is going wrong.) Thanks! - And I am really looking forward to the next releases. -- 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/
