-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Corinna Vinschen on 12/15/2008 11:57 AM: >> chmod +x e:/tmp/gimp/*.exe >> chmod: changing permissions of `e:/tmp/gimp/gimp-2.2.13-i586-setup-1.exe': No such file or directory >> chmod: changing permissions of `e:/tmp/gimp/gtk+-2.10.6-1-setup.exe': No such file or directory > > > This seems to be a problem in coreutils. I just tried the chmod function > with DOS paths and it works as expected. Or, more accurately, a limitation of the coreutils .exe magic getting thrown off by the switch to the new cygwin_conv_path. I'm not very concerned about trying to go out of my way to provide bloat in coreutils just to make .exe magic on DOS paths behave nicely, when a unix-style path works just fine. But I'll look into it; I was in the middle of preparing coreutils 7.0-1, so if I can find a simple fix, I might be able to tweak this to work nicer. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
