I just found out that installing cygwin at root is a way to get dejagnu working again. Probably it's only /usr/share which dejagnu is not accessing through the standard mount when installed at e.g. E:\cygwin\usr\share. I had the environment set so that 'less $DEJAGNULIBS/runtest.exp' was displaying correctly, yet dejagnu says it doesn't exist, when cygwin is installed the recommended way. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
