Where do you want to go today ;-) Seriously, your observations are correct, and there really isn't much one can do about it when using a mixture of Cygwin (or MSYS), native-Win32 and Unixish-but-running-on-Win32 programs. Except being very careful to work on just one drive (volume) only, making sure the top-level folders one work with also are mounted as top-level directories from Cygwin's point of view and vice versa. For instance, I don't even have any C: drive on my machine (something to do with my having both SCSI and IDE disks, somehow that's how it ended up after installing Win2k). My first drive letter is D:, and my Windows system drive is H:, and I happen to do all mingw-related stuff on the I: drive, doing software builds in various places under I:\src (mounted as /src in Cygwin) and installing to I:\target (/target in Cygwin). --tml |
