Hi,

FYI, still not fixed...

package version : base-files-3.9-3.tar.bz2

postinstall message :

running: D:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
cygwin warning:
   MS-DOS style path detected: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
   Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc
   CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
   Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
     http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

=> WINETC and WFILE should use forward slashes (\\ => /)

proposed change (thanks to Eric Blake) :

WINETC="$WINHOME/system32/drivers/etc"
...
WFILE="$WINETC/`expr substr "$mketc" 1 8`"

Regards,

Cyrille Lefevre
