I'm building Lua, an MIT licensed scripting language. Part of the lua "make install" process calls install as follows: cd src && install -p -m 0755 lua luac /usr/local/bin And sure enough, lua and luac show up in /usr/local/bin But they exist as src/lua.exe and src/luac.exe So the question is, is it install or the cygwin dll that assumes the exe extension on the file in the source dir and then removes it when installing it to the destination? Ralph PS. I'm willing to maintain a Lua (and significant libraries) port for distribution with Cygwin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
