Hello all,
Had a problem with strict case checking in filesystem paths.
DESCRIPTION:
Installed latest CygWin ditribution (1.3.2, full) on my Win2000; worked fine.
Then had to specify strict filename case checking through
environment variable (added "set CYGWIN=check_case:strict"
line into cygwin.bat) and all of a suddent I was unable to do "cd /".
The system still works, allows to cd /cygdrive/ etc, just can't cd to /
CAUSE:
Hopefuly found a reason: I've installed CygWin into e:\CygWin directory
(note the case!!!), the setup created mounts in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/
(default) = `e:/cygwin'
flags = 0x00000000
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin
(default) = `e:/cygwin/bin'
flags = 0x00000000
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib
(default) = `e:/cygwin/lib'
flags = 0x00000000
(note, that in registry the directory name is cygwin, not CygWin)
Edited the mount paths in registry manualy, and the problem was solved!!!
like this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/
(default) = `e:/CygWin'
flags = 0x00000000
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin
(default) = `e:/CygWin/bin'
flags = 0x00000000
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib
(default) = `e:/CygWin/lib'
flags = 0x00000000
