-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Corinna Vinschen on 10/4/2009 2:19 PM: > The Cygwin symlink(2) call does not add the .exe suffix, neither in > Cygwin 1.5, nor in Cygwin 1.7. It looks like a feature of the ln(1) > tool from the Cygwin 1.5 coreutils, AFAICS. Yes, the 1.5 ln(1) had some .exe magic, because cygwin1.dll 1.5 did not always handle symlinks gracefully if the .exe was not present. > ln(1) from the Cygwin 1.7 > coreutils does also not add a .exe suffix. Probably because cygwin 1.7 handles .exe better. I disabled some of the .exe magic when porting coreutils to 1.7 (perhaps too much, though, based on reports of cp not doing enough .exe magic). - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
