I updated cygwin a few days ago, and two things have stopped working:
1) When I execute "rsync -e ssh", it complains of not finding ssh:
rsync: Failed to exec ssh: No such file or directory (2)
This used to work just fine. If I change "ssh" in the command line to
the full Windows path to ssh.exe, it also works fine.
2) Make no longer can find commands to run, and it seems to have to do
with the shell. In particular, I have a series of rm commands, some
with a single explicit filename, and some with wildcards. For example:
clean:
-rm -rf dist
-rm -f *.pyc */*.pyc */*/*.pyc */*/*/*.pyc
-rm -f *.pyo */*.pyo */*/*.pyo */*/*/*.pyo
-rm -f *.bak */*.bak */*/*.bak */*/*/*.bak
-rm -f .coverage
The simple commands fail, the ones with wildcards succeed:
rm -rf dist
make: rm: Command not found
make: [clean] Error 127 (ignored)
rm -f *.pyc */*.pyc */*/*.pyc */*/*/*.pyc
rm -f *.pyo */*.pyo */*/*.pyo */*/*/*.pyo
rm -f *.bak */*.bak */*/*.bak */*/*/*.bak
rm -f .coverage
make: rm: Command not found
make: [clean] Error 127 (ignored)
I understand the make has two different execution paths, depending on
the complexity of the command. So the shell-execution path (with
wildcards) works fine, but the simple path (where make will invoke rm
directly) fails.
These seem like two symptoms of the same problem, but I don't know how
to fix it. Both worked before I updated cygwin, and now they don't.
Any ideas?
