Coolview says you should use the later. Fine with me, but what is the >reason behind all this. I understand this is related to ^M at the end of line >with text file, but still, how can that be such a pb? Moreover, after making >the mount text=binary, my Makefile would not work anymore, I had to ran gsar -o >-du on it. Do I have to run gsar on the whole filesystem? text=binary vs text!=binary tells the cygwin32 built applications what the default open mode is. Therefore if you had text!=binary and changed to text=binary then all scripts will fail as the \r will not be removed from the EOL. If a program uses the default open mode then they are the ones that will be affected. > >- I compiled Perl 5 yesterday (could not grab the binary from Russia), and it >looks like dot "." must be in the PATH, or part of the configure and make >fails. > This should be reported to the maintainers of Perl. >- Using NTEmacs, I ran in the pb with ^M at the of the bash input line.
