From: vischne AT ibm DOT net Subject: Peculiar `mount' behavior 30 Jan 1998 00:08:03 -0800 Message-ID: <199801300516.FAA36678.cygnus.gnu-win32@out2.ibm.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com If you use the Unix syntax for mount, then adding a drive letter to the mount table goes like this: mount /dev/hda5 d: which makes the first drive extended partition d: to cygwin. After doing this, typing `cd d:' under bash$ does what you think it does. Only problem is that, even though this is standard usage, `make' doesn't quite know what to do with the `//d/' things that result. `make' only understands `/dev/hda5'. So, you have to umount d: mount d: /dev/hda5 which is really absurd from a Unix standpoint, and then `make' works. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
