return value of mkshortcut on Windows 7

2010-03-10 Thread David Byron
mkshortcut is returning 8 when I expect it to return 0. This only happens to me on Windows 7. It returns 0 on XP. Here's what I do. $ rm -rf a $ mkdir a $ mkshortcut -n a/b a $ echo $? 8 $ file a/b.lnk a/b.lnk: MS Windows shortcut I'd love a hand getting mkshortcut to return 0 in this case.

I've found a difference in behavior between cygwin 1.5.25 and cygwin 1.7.1 that I don't understand. Renaming a file using MoveFileW fails with access denied under cygwin 1.5.25 as expected, but it works under 1.7. Here's what I do: $ echo foo >foo $ mkdir temp $ chmod a-w temp $ ./my_rename Und
