POSIX names for drive letters

2006-08-25 Thread Schwarz, Konrad
Hi, I know that it is kind of late :-), but I would like to suggest an alternative/additional mapping of drive letters to the MinGW and Cygwin file-system name space. The proposed mapping for directory `C:\' is `//./C$/' (or perhaps `//./C/'). The reasons for this mapping are: * POSIX allows pa

Terminal Bell

2008-12-16 Thread Schwarz, Konrad
Hi, when running cygwin in a Windows console, I cannot get it to emit an audible beep -- I always get a "visual bell" (screen flash), even when using echo ^g directly or using echo -e \\a. I don't think this is a vi issue, as set vb? returns novisualbell. Since echo -e \\a and echo ^g do not beep

Device names in /proc/mounts

2011-07-25 Thread Schwarz, Konrad
Hi, in Linux, /proc/mounts maps device names (/dev/sda2) to mount points (/home). in Cygwin, /proc/mounts maps DOS names (C:) to cygwin names (/cygdrive/c). This is not terribly useful. There seems no way of mapping device names (resp. Win32 Device Namespace names) to mount points -- the Cygwin

Hello, installing gxditview (and Cygwin/X) in Cygwin does not suffice to display man-pages properly via man -TX75, man -TX100 etc. In my case, a fallback fixed width font was used, which looked horrible. I managed to solve this by haphazardly installing additional X11 font-related Cygwin packages
