Hello,

I am enhancing/fixing a perl tool (published to CPAN) which allows to import
files into a ClearCase
database (vob): synctree. Among the enhancements is support for cygwin.
While testing it on cygwin, I tried and failed to import it itself, from the
perl install directory, which
is under /usr/lib.

The tool spawns an IBM utility built for Windows (in this case): cleartool.
It is this cleartool which cannot access C:\cygwin\usr\lib

I notice that the Windows cmd shell has the exact same problem, which
disappears if using instead:
C:\cygwin\lib

My question is (as I'll have to implement a workaround) how can I detect
this issue?

I already found:

$ df /usr/lib
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:/cygwin/lib        244196348  35784364 208411984  15% /usr/lib

Is this the answer to my question?
Thanks,
Marc

P.S.
