Remote shares are assumed to be non-executable by default for speed considerations. You can fix this by mounting the share with the -x option: mount -x -f //foo/bar /bar Mounting the share in that manner will cause cygwin (and setup postinstall scripts) to consider everything in /bar to be consdired executable. It might be better to mount any specific directories that you know will contain executable content with -x: mount -x -f //foo/c/cygwin/bin /bin mount -x -f //foo/c/cygwin/sbin /sbin mount -x -f //foo/c/cygwin/usr/sbin /usr/sbin etc. cgf -- 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/
