It works basically fine with one exception. If a file that rsync is trying to replace is open in other application, rsync fails even if the file is open in a shared mode. I've noticed that using function "sopen" instead of "open" for file copying solves the problem. I did testing with VC++ compiler. I can compile fine under Cygwin with the call of sopen, but the linking fails, however. I found definition of function "sopen" in file /usr/include/mingw32/io.h Looks like it is a part of package Mingw32. However, when I try to link library libmingw32.a I am getting error messages like /lib/libmingw32.a(dirent.o)(.text+0x1d):dirent.c: undefined reference to `_errno' Is that correct library to use? How would I link a library with function "sopen" correctly? Thank you very much, Vlad -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
