(Whine! :-) IMHO, making tmpfile() or functions needing access to "c:/tmp" to examine its/their environment everytime it/they are executed isn't too efficient. This problem is more like a one-off setup thingie. How'bout supplying a cygnus-setup* script to be run right after untaring the all.tar.gz file to do all the necessary one-off environment setup stuff, a few of which are: - mkdir /tmp - mkdir /dev ; touch /dev/zero ; touch /dev/null - modify autoexec.bat to include GCC_xxxxx prefix environment variables - *(suggestion): check if local directory contains a "patch/" directory, and if so, applies all the patches within the directory to the untarred all.tar.gz, - ... any other ideas? ...
