No, it isn't right. `gettext()' used by most of all commands can't find message catalogs to print messages in other languages than English without the mount. `cpp' and `protoize' can't find standard include files without the mount. In the current preview, `cpp' and `protoize' can't find them by another reason, that is, the directory structure adopted by the cygwin package doesn't match one assumed by the gcc package. Even if this inconsistency was dissolved, these commands wouldn't be able to find them without the mount. ____ | AIST Kazuhiro Fujieda <fujieda AT jaist DOT ac DOT jp> | HOKURIKU School of Information Science o_/ 1990 Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
