Well, all I would ask is how many of the people using Cygnus from the net are doing cross-compiling, different hosts, or even different versions of Cygnus on the same machine? I know there ARE some, I suspect they're the vast minority. > That said, it's possible we should change the structure for the Net > distributions. We'll think about it... That would be AWESOME!!! By moving around directories, I managed to get something approaching a "normal" directory strucutre, i.e. underneath g:\cygnus is /bin /etc /u /usr /usr/bin /usr/css /usr/etc /usr/include /usr/lib /usr/libexec /usr/local /usr/local/bin /usr/local/include /usr/local/info /usr/local/lib /usr/local/man /usr/local/share and so on. And, all of this is without having to do any weird mounts (I have g:\cygnus mounted as /) , so anything approaching it would be wonderful; if you simply had to keep it g:\cygnus\cygwin-b, that wouldn't be too bad; we'd just to move everything up one level if we wanted to eliminate it. This also makes our PATHs, GCC_PREFIX, etc. a whole lot shorter . Thanks!
