When I look at the 'Select Packages' section of setup, my choices for bash are 3.1-6 or 3.1-8. I assumed they were shorthand for 3.1.16 and 3.1.18. >> >> I got syntax errors on blank lines. > > That means your script has CRLF line endings, but resides on a binary > mount point. I think I panicked slightly at discovering Cygwin bash had been regressed. I was thinking of all the supplied scripts so I ran a test of the ~450 shell scripts and found only a handful with CR embedded: /bin/card /bin/fixps /bin/flea /bin/makempx /bin/mktexlsr /bin/nfs-server-config /etc/postinstall/uw-imap-imapd.sh.don /etc/postinstall/xerces-c-devel.sh.done /etc/preremove/gv.sh /etc/preremove/uw-imap-imapd.sh /etc/preremove/X-start-menu-icons.sh.done /etc/preremove/xerces-c-devel.sh I found several of the scripts I wrote had embedded CRs. I'm an old Unix hand, so I am really baffled how they got into my scripts. Plus, I always found vim would display the CRs as ^M. To my dismay I now discover the vim silently ignores CR when its part of CR-LF pair, unlike LF-CR. So, I have subscribed to cygwin and cygwin-announce. I am hopeful I will not be surprised again. -- Larry Breyer -- 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/
