Converting paths to windows and back again... only innermost practitioner's of windows-magic would create such spells! ;-) > You are welcome to provide a patch. ---- Aw, shucks, that's awfully nice of you, and if my understanding of cygwin was such that contributing such a patch wouldn't take more time learning how to make cygwin than designing and implementing the patch, I might do such, but it wouldn't be the most efficient use of my time. As it stands I need to work around cygwin ignoring Windows mount-points and turning them into symlinks too often and would likely consider fixing that a higher priority task, though since it's a reverting an "extra hack" put in to treat windows mount-points (Junctions) as symlinks, I wouldn't think fixing that would be that difficult, Personally, I'd like to see linux running as a subsystem on windows like the old POSIX sybsystem. That would solve all sorts of compat problems. ;-) (ya, I know, when pigs fly)... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
