One way to eliminate most (possibly all) CR/LF problems
is to mount with the -b option, I don't know why this isn't the
default.
Unfortunatly, after you do this you will have to reinstall from =
scratch, but once you do bash history works properly, (after deleting or =
converting the .bash_history file) ncurses compiles out of the box =
(dosen't quite work right because of some missing capabilities, but I'm =
working on it), same with most GNU tools that have a configure script.
Try it, after the initial pain, it's a BIG win.
Thanks for the input! I actually tried changing the mounting of C: to
binary, but didn't know it would require a "reinstall from scratch",
which is probably why the results were so discouraging.
One question remains, however--does mounting "C:" in binary mode break
non-GNU-Win32 programs? In particular, I use NTemacs which seems to
insist on handling files in text mode. Did I miss something that avoids
the problem?
Len.
