I have just received an Alienware laptop with Windows7. I downloaded and ran the current setup from website. The install process will stop at various stages, not always the same place. By stop, I mean it looks as if it is working, but it never proceeds past that point. I believe it does all the

Lee Rothstein: >> Will Windows junctions (for the path; plus the file name) work, here? Don't think so, afaik junction points (introduced in Win2000, and different from Vista/7 symlinks) work correctly for directories only. Hard links, however, should work just fine for the problem at hand. tul

rsync 1.7.1 stuck

2010-01-02 Thread Adam Rosi-Kessel
Another rsync problem since the 1.7.1 upgrade (from 1.5) -- an rsync job just gets stuck a few bytes into a file. ctrl-c doesn't work, but I can kill it with pskill. If I keep running the rsync it gets a little further each time. Here's the stranger part: if I jump a few directories in, it see

Building core cygwin packages which only come with patch files over gnu.org packages

Folks, Of course I can try to figure it out myself, but I wonder if anyone can give me a quick pointer on how to build core cygwin packages which only provide patch files over the orginal GNU source. For eample coreutils-7.0-2-src.tar.bz contains: coreutils-7.0-2.cygport coreutils-7.0-2.cygport

Okay, so I get the general idea. First you get the cygwin-src package. Unpack it and run cygport on the coreutils-7.0-2.cygport file with download option. This downloads the original gnu package and applies the two patch files. coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch and coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch. I assume

By the way, when I try to build it says Automake 1.10a is required. However, this version isn't an option under cygwin, only 1.10.3, 1.10.2, etc. How do I fixed this, hack configure.ac? -Original Message- From: neil.mowb...@calgacus.com [mailto:neil.mowb...@calgacus.com] Sent: 03 January
