Hi, Please, help me jog my memory ...
I have Cygwin installed in e:/Cygwin and in e:/Cygwin2; there is no difference between the two, except for the topdir. 1. Using Cygwin in e:/Cygwin2: <= TWO @@ mount -p # my prompt = '@@ ' Prefix Type Flags /drv user binmode PATH=/usr/bin:... @@ PATH=/drv/e/Cygwin/bin:$PATH which --version # fails (retval 127) @@ ls /drv/e/Cygwin/bin/which* /drv/e/Cygwin/bin/which.exe @@ PATH=$PATH:/drv/e/Cygwin/bin which --version GNU which v2.29 ... --- Of course, the same thing happens while using Cygwin in e:/Cygwin @@ mount -p Prefix Type Flags /drv user binmode PATH=/usr/bin:... @@ PATH=/drv/e/Cygwin2/bin:$PATH which --version # fails (retval 127) @@ ls /drv/e/Cygwin2/bin/which* /drv/e/Cygwin2/bin/which.exe @@ PATH=$PATH:/drv/e/Cygwin2/bin which --version GNU which v2.29 ... Why does the invocation of the executable fail "if referred to outside the current installation ..., while the necessary dll's, libraries are present, or so it seems to me". I seem to remember that Cygwin looks for the necessary libs in the lib directory, that is "peer" to the bin directory ... Hope someone can shed some light here ...
