Hi All,

As per a previous message
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00215.html) I am still finding
that mkshortcut causes core dumps (Windows 7, 64 bit). I have tried a
few different options: -P or -D still cause dumps. I have checked
permissions and they are all ok. Some folders do cause the error, some
don't.

mkshortcut -n "I for cygwin bin" /D/cyghome/bin
/home/RobertMarkBram/bin/createWindowsShortcut.sh: line 160:  8128
Aborted                 (core dumped) mkshortcut -n "$shortcutName"
"$target"

I am using an alternative as suggested:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00232.html

It works OK, but isn't nearly as useful as mkshortcut: lnk files
handle rather differently than url files.

Kind Regards,

Rob
:)
