Ssh executable is missing

Hi, I installed several packages from the Cygwin suite successfully. My final goal was to "ssh -X " to run some Linux applications on a Win-box I have to work on. While a startx works fine I was unable to find the ssh executable neigther in /bin nor anywhere else. So I guess I just missed some

Re: How to delete file "nul"?

Dear Michael Pfeiffer, This problem is not cygwin related. You can delete files like this by using "UNC" style of filename (this style prevents use of DOS devices and bypasses Windows 256 character limit for filename). For example, to delete file from the root of d:\ drive use del \\.\d:\n

RE: How to delete file "nul"?

Fred, First off, . Secondly, if "rm" didn't work for the OP from the bash prompt, what makes you think it'll work from "find"? Oh, and you used the wrong "/" before the semicolon (which would thankfully make the below command invalid, because if it were

RE: "cygpath -w ." returns ".\" instead of "."

Okay point taken. Stupid trivial script aside... Why does: "cygpath -w ." return ".\" instead of "." "cygpath -m ." return "./" instead of "." And why does: "cygpath -w dir" return "dir" instead of "dir\" "cygpath -m dir" return "dir" instead of "dir/" Shouldn't: "cygpath -w ." "cygpath -m ." "c

cygwin allows a user to create a file called aux, like this: echo something >aux This file cannot be removed. (the filename is reserved under windows.) Cygwin should probably not allow the creation of a file with this name. /Anders Musikka -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsub

MSVC style demangling in GNU Binutils

I posted a patch in the binutils mailinglist a while ago which implements MSVC style demangling. This can be useful for both Cygwin and Mingw users. Can someone give some assistance in fixing the build system? Any autotools experts here? Eddy -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsub
