Hmmm...I like the the version at courtesan.com; it's much better than
mine. The main difference is in the implementation of mkdtemp() and
portability. Anyway, I rebuilt autoconf (with the courtesan-mktemp.exe
installed), and re-ran the tests, under stock cygwin-1.3.2.
It worked fine.
Then, I re-ran the tests (without rebuilding autoconf) but after having
replaced cgywin1.dll with cygwin1-20010728.dll.
Some of the tests failed. Interestingly, even on tests that passed, I
get a lot of errors like this:
rm: cannot change to directory `1/2': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove directory `1': Directory not empty
ls -lF <build-dir>/tests/1 shows:
d--------- 0 cwilson None 0 Jul 29 17:30 2/
Note that the directory <build-dir>/tests/1/2/ was NOT created by mktemp
or any of its brethren. .../1/2 was directly created by the testing
script -- but then cannot be removed.
This looks like a cygwin1.dll problem with file (directory?) creation,
not mktemp implementations.
Hmm...try this:
$ mkdir foo
$ ls -ldF foo
drwxrwxr-x 2 cwilson None 0 Jul 29 18:40 foo/
$ rmdir foo
$ mkdir -p foo/bar
$ ls -ldF foo
drwxrwxr-x 2 cwilson None 0 Jul 29 18:40 foo/
$ ls -ldF foo/bar
d--------- 0 cwilson None 0 Jul 29 18:40 foo/bar/
Then this:
$ mkdir -p a/b/c/d/e/f
mkdir: cannot chdir to directory, `a/b': Permission denied
It looks like there's a problem with 'mkdir -p' in cygwin-CVS. I'll dig
around and see what's changed in there recently...unless anybody already
knows offhand?
