I installed MSYS-1.0.8-rc-1 on an XP box. When I key in dir (yes I know ls) the console hangs; task must be killed manually. MSYS-1.0.7-i386-2 seemed to work properly. Is this a bug, or do I hallucinate ? Francois Grieu |

It sounds like dir.exe is a Cygwin executable, in which case you should remove Cygwin from your path. From the MSYS README: You can't use Cygwin binaries at all and if you try you'll most likely just cause the processes to "hang". > > > MSYS-1.0.7-i386-2 seemed to work properly. If this is really true then Cygwin may not be the cause, but maybe something else has changed since you had 1.0.7. > > Is this a bug, or do I hallucinate ? > > > > Yes, that's the problem, you're deep in sleep and when you wake up it > will all work. ;) > > Earnie Luke |
