However, for some reason HOME is set to /cygdrive/d/kris, which is mounted as binary. And there it goes wrong. If I cd to /home/kris/mymodule, everything works fine. It appears now that I have /cygdrive/d/kris as my home directory in my old /etc/passwd. Maybe it would be a good thing to remember people to update their /etc/passwd after upgrading cygwin? > Also, since you've compiled cvs yourself, did you link it against > automode.o? You may need to relink cvs to get it working. I didn't do anything special to compile CVS, just "configure;make;make install". As it's working properly now, it doesn't look like I need to do anything specific. (Not that I know what automode.o is). Many thanks for the (very fast!) help!
