Have you tried "copy" instead of "cp"? It's plain Windows
and it's a command line tool. I don't know whether it uses
CopyFile(), but it might be worth a try, right?
Cheers,

Hi all,
I'm irritated by the return value I get from mkshortcut.
Using
mkshortcut -D -nNAME PROGRAM ; echo $?
I would expect to get a return value of 0 on success -
excerpt from the manual:
"If mkshortcut encounters a syntax error, it will return
an exit value of 1 and output usage information

Corinna,
thanks for the code! Sorry for the delay (had to do some work for my

Hi guys,
since yesterday, I'm experiencing some strange problems,
some of which I connect with cygwin, but surely our local
setup with shared drives is an issue, too. I'm asking our
IT staff at the same time whether anything changed with the
server configuration, but cannot tell whether I'll get a

I agree it
Steve,
we've been struggling with speeding up our build process, too, so I'd
like to share some ideas - yet I'm not so certain whether you'll learn
from me or I'll learn from you: Hopefully both.

Eric,
thanks for the ultra-fast response - I'm looking forward
to seeing the patch appear on my preferred mirror :-)

Hi,
in /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh, it says (unconditionally):
# Get rid of ash manpage, if it is in the way of our compressed page.
rm -f /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1
Is this a known problem waiting for the new setup?
In effect, "man sh" fails, and "cygcheck -vc bash" says:

Hi all,
I'm not sure just *how* off-topic this is, let's see ...
I'm using Reini's own package of sqlite 3.0.7 for cygwin
in conjunction with the pysqlite source-distribution.
This works quite well, only I'd like it all in cygwin
packages in the standard distribution.
For the record:

Dave,
thanks for reminding me. I feel really embarrassed.
Apparently excitement is taking me over.
My sincere apologies to Jim and (the rest of) the List.
Sorry for this noise, but I needed it, so you don't
think I'm a total luser - hope it helps ...

Jim and Gary,
thanks for your hints. Maybe I'm unnecessarily nervous.
I'm still working on a good definition for "enough"
testing around the intended use, and to what level of
detail the intended use needs to be described. With
your comments, I'm more confidently facing the FDA-

Hi all,
my company develops medical devices, so we must fulfill
the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) regulations.
As we are using Cygwin in our software build chain
(especially for GNU make and bash), we need to explain
what makes us so confident.
I've scanned the archives with no satisfying

That's true. In addition, the '^' in cmd is an escape character,
like the backslash in sh. Search for "string liter
Hi,
sorry, by now even I noticed that this is OT because it
depends entirely on upstream. Then again, I found out
where I was misunderstanding the documentation, and I'd
like to share:

continuation line and could be left out if you put all

Hi,
try this:
$ echo | sed -e 'a\\'
in sed-4.0.9-2 and sed-4.1.2-1: The old one produces a backslash,
the new one doesn't. Unfortunately, this breaks a makefile I use
for generating LaTeX output ...
Can this be a side effect of the change described below? Will this
be stable or is it a bug?

I'm replicating a Cygwin installation to about 100 developer
machines here. The tar approach is cute, but slow.
I'm using robocopy, part of the "Windows 2000 Resource Kit",

Hi,
I've just noticed a weird problem:
When I set an environment variable in a script in
/etc/profile.d, I never see it in my shell.
For example, take
/etc/profile.d/blub.sh:
export blub=1
Adding "echo $blub" to the loop in /etc/profile,
I can see that it gets set, but is unset immedia
Hi,
is anyone thinking about adding the command-line
version of spyce (python server pages) as a
standard cygwin package?
About spyce: http://spyce.sourceforge.net/index.html
I'm interested in using it for preprocessing XML
files in a 'make' environment.
Keep it up,
Jan.
