I've traced the recent report about dangling symlinks in the tetex
package:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-09/msg00091.html
to a small bug in mknetrel. Find a fix below.
The bug and fix can be viewed using mknetrel's readlink () and
dousrstuff () functions and doing something like:
cd /tmp
rm -rf usr/bin
mkdir -p usr/bin
cp -pv /home/cygwin/usr/bin/cygcheck.exe usr/bin/dot.exe
cp -pv /home/cygwin/usr/bin/cygcheck.exe usr/bin/nodot
(cd usr/bin
ln -s dot.exe lndot.exe
ln -s nodot lnnodot)
cd usr
dousrstuff
ls -l usr/bin
Greetings,
Jan.
