P4 can't find the TMP directory?

2010-08-24 Thread Mathew Shember 
Hello,

Trying to simply do a p4 client and will receive this message:

$ p4 client
CreateProcess: "vim" "C:\DOCUME~1\nasinteg\LOCALS~1\Temp\t3428t76.tmp": The 
system ca
nnot find the file specified.

Client side operation(s) failed.  Command aborted.


I verified the configs for perforce and they are correct.

The path info is the basic windows env for XP.

I've tried playing with the paths but no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

This might be a case of "I want it that way"

Basically the user is not happy to see "/c/export/home" when he does a pwd.

The old mount command eliminated the "/c" 

Thanks!

A symlink should work:

$ ln -s /cygwin/c/export /export

A mount will also work:

$ mkdir /export # To silence mount warnings...
$ mount C:/export /export

If what you really want is to dynamically map the entire contents of C:
into the Cygwin root directory, I don't have any suggestions.  People
have been known to install Cygwin directly to C:\ before, and that would
basically get you the mapping for free, but doing so is frowned upon here.

1.7.1: Replacement for mount -f -u -b c: /

2010-05-05 Thread Mathew Shember 
In the previous release, some of our engineers would change:

/cygwin/c/export/home/

To 

/export/home

To eliminate the "/c" they would use 

Mount -f -u -b c: /

This no longer works and I haven't figured out a work around.

Tried playing with fstab with no luck.

Thanks

Mathew
