In simpler words, the bin directory is symlinked from elsewhere. realpath -Le resolves correctly, but all other filesystem functions fail. I vaguely recall that there was some discussion on the matter, but search returns too many results, can't read them all. My question, basically: is this expected way of things? If so, I'd just workaround it. Sad but doable. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Friday, November 2, 2018 1:31:12 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
