[1.7] wordexp()/wordfree() missing?

2009-03-22 Thread René Berber 
Hi,

Using Cygwin 1.7.0(0.193/5/3), there is /usr/include/wordexp.h but the
functions defined there are not in a library (they belong to libc).

Do I need a ?-development package?   The comment at the end of the
wordexp.h file is strange, it says you need bash... what has that to do
with a library?

Thanks for any help.

The library functions call bash to perform some actions.  Don't ask
me for details, I never used that stuff.  Which is no wonder given that
I didn't even know that the functions are available in newlib.  I've
just applied a patch to CVS to export them from Cygwin 1.7.


Thanks,
Corinna
