During 'make install prefix=/install' the cygwin1.dll is installed as a data file. 'cacls cygwin1.dll' shows that the file is lacking the FILE_EXECUTE and FILE_GENERIC_EXECUTE attributes. Doing 'chmod +x cygwin1.dll' or copying the file with Explorer restores the executable flags. The problem is visible on ntfs partitions under WinXP. It is probably present on Win2K and WinNT 4.0 hosts too. Please consider the following patch: diff -uNr cygwin.orig/winsup/cygwin/Makefile.in cygwin/winsup/cygwin/Makefile.in --- cygwin.orig/winsup/cygwin/Makefile.in 2003-03-09 12:14:06.000000000 -0800 +++ cygwin/winsup/cygwin/Makefile.in 2003-06-23 16:07:48.000000000 -0700 @@ -206,7 +206,7 @@ uninstall: uninstall-libs uninstall-headers uninstall-man install-libs: $(TARGET_LIBS) - $(INSTALL_DATA) $(TEST_DLL_NAME) $(bindir)/$(DLL_NAME); \ + $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $(TEST_DLL_NAME) $(bindir)/$(DLL_NAME); \ for i in $^; do \ $(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(tooldir)/lib/`basename $$i` ; \ done -- Doru Carastan Windows Host Engineer Phone: 408-992-4497 Email: doru.carastan@montavista.com ivbdcc@pacbell.net -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
