Sorry for the cryptic subject.
We have an SMB share exporting our sources from a linux
box (with samba).
I am porting our dev environment to be cross platform,
with great success, save one serious problem.
Most of our dev environment is implemented through some
python scripts for computing inter-module dependencies
and building modules in the correct order and such. Python
is available for windows and it works great. The problem
is that these scripts are located at
//cardano/anm/sw/dev/bin/<blah blah>
Now I can execute a python script in that directory, with
the command:
python //cardano/anm/sw/dev/bin/anmdeps <arguments>
If I use, mount //cardano/anm /anm then I want to be able
to do:
python /anm/sw/dev/bin/anmdeps
it doesn't work. Presumably this is because Python has
no idea about cygwin's mount table.
So, I wrote a quick bash function and stuck it in our
users system standard bashrc file, such that the first
argument is filtered through cygpath, that works
great, except, when I just run anmdeps, as in
$ /anm/sw/dev/bin/anmdeps
Now, the path variable has the bin directory, and the
script has #! so bash knows to run the script with
python, and finds the python executable and runs it with
/anm/sw/dev/bin/anmdeps as an argument. But it isn't
putting it through the shell function, hence Python is
saying:
mark AT rayleigh
$ anmdeps
python: can't open file '/nam/sw/dev/bin/anmdeps'
So this is most frustrating. The only solution I can think
of is to copy (to every windows box) the necessary scripts.
This I most definately don't want to do. For hopefully
obvious reasons.
If anybody more experienced with cygnus than I has a
solution I would be hugely appreciative.
Best regards,
Mark.
