Target FS may not support symlinks. 2. User may not have necessary permission. If, for some reason, you DO actually required to create symlinks, go with winsymlinks:native, they are safer for use and relatively well supported in other tools. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, March 4, 2020 21:50:02 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
