From: gkremese@ews.uiuc.edu (Garrick A Kremesec) Subject: directory structure clarification 11 Mar 1998 00:22:29 -0800 Message-ID: References: <199803091134.LAA76450@out2.ibm.net> Reply-To: Garrick A Kremesec Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Hello all, I'm rather new and I mounted all my directories without the -b option to mount them as text!=binary and everything (for the most part) worked well. After reading the mailing list for a few weeks, I noticed that most of the time, the -b option is recommended, so I changed my mountings and ran into many oddities. Then, I added set CYGWIN32=binmode to my cygnus.bat (which, I thought was suppossed to be automatically there with B19). This solved a few problems, but there are a few "glitches." For instance, when I hit ctrl-C during a configure or make command, it locks up my whole computer! Also, when I type exit, it prints it to the screen several times and doesn't always exit. If I revert back to text!=binary structure, these things dissappear. Also, when I run configure for the binutils, it tells me that I need to set the CC environment variable. Set it to what? CC1.exe? GCC.exe? So, after that bloated email above, which of the directories should be mounted with the -b option? All of them? Here is my mount table: i:\var /var native text=binary i:\usr /usr native text=binary i:\etc /etc native text=binary i: / native text=binary i:\bin /bin native text=binary -> B19 in i:/cygnus/... Also, could anyone post a general purpose cygnus.bat file that the pro's on this mailing list would happily use?
