I am having problems mounting files. This is what I do. $mkdir "C:\PalmDev" $mount -tf "C:\PalmDev" /PalmDev $ln -s "C:\Palm OS 5 SDK (68K) R3\Palm OS Support" /PalmDev/sdk-5r3 when I run mount -tf "C:\PalmDev" /PalmDev it does not mount to '/' instead it is mounted on "/cygdrive/c/Documents and

RE: Perl CPAN module help

Thank you so much. If I wanted to start fresh with a new perl installation -- replacing the executables and all the modules -- how do you recommend I do this under cygwin. I hadn't installed too many modules and it would be nicer to start clean and set it up to use /usr/local right from the start f

Re: cvs complains of no repository (solved)

Well, Skip the below patch. Pete Stieber suggested I check my mounts that they are text mode. Sure enough, the mount point for the filesystem containing my local CVS directory was in bin mode. After mounting in text mode, all works fine. (mount -t E: /e for example). Might be useful to have t

Hello! I've recently found that latex has begun crashing if I execute it from a windows xp (or 2000) cmd prompt. It happens by simply typing "latex" at a cmd prompt. I get (in a windows error box) 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe - latex The NTVDM CPU has encountered an ill

Problems with Make, VPATH and MS-DOS paths

Hi, I'm having a problem getting MS-DOS paths to work properly with VPATH under GNU Make 3.80. The problem is that the VPATH processing tacks on a Unix path separator ('/') to the end of the VPATH giving me a source file name something similar to code\src\fw/foo.c. This is a significant pro

Hi, This may well verge on FAQ-like issues, but a quick search didn't find it. I've been investigating a possible bug in bison, and talking with the folk on the bison-bug mail-list. Fairly reasonably, their first request was that I build their latest version and see if the bug still oc

cygutils 1.2.2-1: small error in ipck

The ipck script in the current cygutils (1.2.2-1) has an extraneous tick-mark on line 17 immediately after the GPL header, resulting in the following error when run: $ ipck /usr/bin/ipck: 18: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ";;") Simply deleting that line fixes the script. _

Thank you for your help. I understand what you are saying here. I will try installing under /usr/local. My question, though, is what do I do about all the modules I've installed under /usr?
